Uniform Banknotes

The petition is entitled print exactly the same bank note and coins in the united kingdom and the explanatory notes say
"there has been a loop hole for years, we are one country but use different types of notes, lets close this loop hole. Keep all the banks running but printing off the same notes and coins and rename the banks e.g. British bank of scotland, British bank of England ect. this way the historic names of the banks are not erased but edited. Also have on the notes bank of britain or bank or United Kingdom instead of the bank of england est."

Why?

What problem is caused by the different notes?

OK, sometimes it's a nuisance to find shops (particularly in the South) refusing to accept Scottish notes. But this is easily overcome and a very small problem to bother about.

I just don't see the point in changing - and apparently the petitioner thinks it's so obvious s/he doesn't need to explain ...
