I've got the coupon from a non-UK paypal account. It cannot be redeemed on currencies that are not GBP?

Yeah I can see the offer even when logged into my US PayPal account but I'm imagining it's region specific since as far as I know I can't spend GBP on the US eShop. I guess if you wanted to go so far as to open a UK Nintendo account you could redeem it (idk if it's easy on Nintendo systems but it's pretty simple on Sony systems to make accounts for different regions), but I don't know if the trouble is worth 5 pounds.

EDIT: some credit cards, I know one of mine does anyway, charge you a currency conversion fee for doing business in foreign currencies so be careful if you try that route as you might not end up saving any money at all!
