AFAIK the Manx pound is not Sterling, although it is in parity with Sterling.

Manx pounds are not legal currency in the UK but UK pounds (whether the notes are English, Scottish, or NI) are legal in the Isle of Man.

Thank you, that explains why no one would take my Manx Pound on England when I tried.
