However, there will be no currency union with an independent Scotland. If there is a CU, then it will be part of a face-saving framework that allows Salmond to say Scotland is independent ... but it won't be. A nation of 5 million people that has to have its budget approved by the next-door nation 10 times bigger is not independent.
