So, in the US, the treasury (controlled by the gov't) is the only entity allowed to print dollars - this is a good thing! In the UK, individual banks print money, normally one wouldn't think about something like this, but I have been warned that some places in England will not accept cash from a Scottish bank! This is the same feeling when you go to pay anywhere with a travelers check, you never know if they will accept it or not.
