In a new paper "Money creation in the modern economy," the Bank of England admits that the pound is a fiat currency, explains how it is created, why this matters, and why virtually everything that economic textbooks say about money is wrong.
The authority of the Bank of England on these matters is not easily dismissed, and can represent a shift in thinking among the financial elites from traditional models to fiat centric models."

Except they've both been owned by Volkswagen for years... although I suppose the pound does have a picture of a German on it.
