some US notes they will not take due to the fact that a particular year there were a lot of fake notes, the year in question I believe is 1996. So if your US notes are new then no problem.
Yes you could have used your pounds but there may have been a hold-up if they were old, creased or just because they really couldn't be bothered doing the exchange. Pounds will be accepted everywhere else to be changed. Yes do count and double count to make sure you get what is owed to you.
