Hello,  everybody !   As  far  as  I  understood -  there  is  a  difference  between  the  English  pound  and  the  Gibraltar  pound -  how  much  Gibraltar  pounds  does  cost  1  English  pound ?   Or is it on the contrary ?

There is no difference

They have equal value

There is a difference, they are a different colour and you cant spend them in England.  The Gibraltarian Pound coin is also not accepted on aeroplanes as most of the them have been made in back street garages and are a slightly different weight.   However, a pound is a pound, Gib is a British Territory and if you are colour blind they do print the value on the notes so the colour differences is just a point of interest as there is no real difference and you can even change them in a UK bank when you go home.
