The Royal Bank of Scotland's polymer £10 belongs to the Fabric of Nature series, which replaced the previous paper Ilay series and brought RBS into line with the Bank of England's own polymer transition. Scotland's commercial banks retain the right to issue their own notes under a longstanding arrangement requiring them to hold an equivalent face value in Bank of England notes or coin as backing — a requirement that dates to the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1954 and its predecessors.
Thomas De La Rue's polymer substrate work on Scottish commercial issues differs from the Bank of England's own Innovia-sourced Guardian polymer, a distinction that occasionally trips up collectors assuming a uniform supply chain across UK polymer issues.
