The majority of sterling notes are printed by the Bank of England. These are legal tender in England and Wales and generally accepted throughout the UK, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands. However in Jersey since 2005, cash machines generally no longer dispense English notes. Bank of England notes are also accepted in the Overseas Territories which are at parity with sterling.

Shore #2 (Cyprus)

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 07:00 +0300

The name 'Cyprus' has a somewhat uncertain etymology. One suggestion is that it comes from the Greek word for the Mediterranean cypress tree, κυπάρισσος (kypárissos), or even from the Greek name of the henna plant (Lawsonia alba), κύπρος (kýpros). Another school suggests that it stems from the Eteocypriot word for copper. Georges Dossin, for example, suggests that it has roots in the Sumerian word for copper (zubar) or for bronze (kubar), from the large deposits of copper ore found on the island. Through overseas trade the island has given its name to the Classical Latin word for the metal through the phrase aes Cyprium, "metal of Cyprus", later shortened to Cuprum. Cyprus is also called "the island of Aphrodite", since the Greek goddess Aphrodite, of beauty and love, was born in Cyprus. The most common theory is that it came from their word for copper, Kypros, because the island had rich deposits of copper. (c) wikipedia.org
