Answer 2

Bank of England banknotes are made to exacting standards involving a "secret recipe" for the paper and the ink. Modern Bank of England banknotes include features such as holographic images, ultraviolet images, raised printing, variable density of the paper to facilitate watermark type designs in the paper rather than on the paper. All of these apparent trifling differences make minute difference to the weight of the banknotes. The differences in the weights of different denominations of Bank of England banknotes can be measured in tenths of a gram or a few hundredths of a gram.

Scottish banknotes are currently produced by the Royal Bank of Scotland, the Bank of Scotland and the Clydesdale Bank, all of which produce their own banknotes with different designs, different paper, different inks and different methods of printing.

If the weights of equivalent banknotes was the same between all of these issuers of banknotes, it would be a miracle.

Suggest that you count the Scottish banknotes seperately.
