True. But it doesn't necessarily have to be an urgent matter. They can take their time to develop a new currency. I certainly don't see it as a reason to vote "no" on independence.
Not that I think they should vote "yes" either. Up until recently, I always saw Scots as British people who wore kilts and played bagpipes (although neither are only "Scottish", they are more known for being a symbol of Scotland). I didn't realize that there was such a strong sense of nationalism in Scotland (possibly even stronger than Quebec nationalism within Canada).
