I always look at the serial number of notes I receive, do you?

[Feek]

I don't use cash very often, in fact the only place I've needed to use cash for the last few years is a local baker who do far better rolls then I can manage to make myself. I always look at the notes when I take them out of the machine and got another one today that amused me.

This completes my £5 and £10 AA01 and AK47 collection.

If you're a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, you'll recognise this one.

And if you watched Line of Duty, this may make you chuckle.

As for value, well, I reckon that little lot is worth, ohh, about £45





I've also got a few $2 bills which even some Americans don't seem to know about.

They're worth about $2 each!

There are certain musing best left in ones head... That is what people tell me when I just blurt out this kind of thing..

Only when I exchange them and they look new

You don't have to be mad to be a mod, but it certainly helps.

Today I learned: Feek as too much spare time.

Today I learned: Feek as too much spare time.

And too much money collecting numbered notes.

I like to count the number of turnips for sale in my local grocery store. Every day. To my utter amazement, it varies.
Kind regards

Genuinely had no idea $2 bills were a thing.

I did have a £5 with my DOB (a George Stephenson one) in the serial number - no idea what happened to it.

Friend of mine is into coins.
Apparently those that were first issued in X year, but bear the previous year from being minted early in readiness for issue, are worth quite a bit of money.
Every time he received change he'd be checking them and was forever struggling to get his phone to try and magnify the view of the coins, that I ended up getting him a Swiss Army knife with a magnifier on it... mainly so he didn't have to keep borrowing mine for his geeky little obssession.
He's made a few grand from those he's found, though, so I try not to take the mick too heavily....

We've got a collection of UK coins that have some value.

i hate to rain on your parade but they look like AK47 to me and not AA47.

When the OH does the banking, she has a good eye at spotting rare and collectable UK coins.

You guys have money?

Jokes aside, AA01 will probably be worth something when we move on from the current notes.

 

[Shadowness]

I’ve got a $2 bill on my board at home, as a waitress gave it back to me and told me to keep it as they are quite ‘rare’ in the US, and as an obvious Brit tourist it’d be a good souvenir.

I haven't used cash in years. I hardly ever use cards at all. I use my phone or my watch.
