Your view: Should independent Scotland keep the pound?

Plans for an independent Scotland to carry on using the pound need "careful consideration", according to the governor of the Bank of England.

Mark Carney has been meeting Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond to discuss the currency options should the country break from the rest of the UK.

On 18 September, voters in Scotland will be asked the yes/no question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"

If it's a "Yes", the Scottish government says keeping the pound is the best option and argues sterling would benefit from assets like North Sea oil and gas.

But ministers in Westminster say such a deal would see Scotland's interest rates and borrowing levels set by a foreign country.

The governor of the Bank of England added the deal could see the same trouble the eurozone has faced if proper foundations are not set out.

William says he is still unsure which way he will vote later this year.

"I think for simplicity's sake we should keep the same currency, there's no point in changing it," he said.

"There's no point cutting off our nose to spite our face.

"They'll need us and we'll need them for things going forward."

Twins Aaron and Riki think Scotland would be better as part of the UK, but have differing views on what would happen to the currency if it was a "yes" vote.

"We have been a part of Britain for like ever so I don't see why they can't share a bit with us," said Riki.

Aaron disagreed though: "It's like leaving your mum and dad's house, saying you're going to do it alone but then asking them for money.

"That's not being independent is it?"

University students Scott and Jonathan work part-time in the city.

They're concerned that keeping the pound but becoming independent would affect the retail industry.

"If the interest rates are set by the Bank of England then Scotland would have no representation in Westminster to have a say about the currency," explained Scott.

Jonathan added: "It could affect the purchasing of stock because you'd have no say in the value of the currency so it would make it difficult to import and export.

"And if you haven't got anything in it's obviously harder to make money."

"If I had to make a decision now, I'd probably say no to independence," said Louise.

Danielle thinks it's the older generation which is more likely to vote yes.

"Our grandparents are more bothered because they're more anti-English than we are," she said.

"The thing is the pound would not be ours to keep if we decide to leave, so we might have to go to the euro, which is unstable."

Louise added: "I think it would be quite confusing for people to change currency."
