An entirely new form of currency will not necessarily destroy their country. It's obvious by the strong propaganda on the "Stay United" side that Scotland has resources the rest of the UK has demand for, so by branching off, yes it will be difficult in the beginning, but after several years (give or take), the economy will steady out as the rest of the world adjusts to the new national trade laws and currency exchange rates. Give it time and they will be just fine.
