Donal, you should take a look from where I'm sitting!
I couldn't troll you so easily unless I had already taken a look from where
you are sitting.

Donal, be my guest :-)
"New money" is so unsophisticated!
Yeah, and it sticks together in your wallet.
The 100's are the worst!
Did I tell you about the $50 I got a few weeks ago?
Was buying a new air compressor and paying cash, the guy counted thru
the notes then pulled out a $50 and said he couldn't accept it.
I queried him and he pointed out that it was about 5mm shorter than it
should be. Took it back and gave him another to complete the deal.
The compressor is a beauty!
Anyway, thinking I had a forged note and being the upstanding citizen
that I am, Rather than try and pass it off to someone else, I took it
down to the bank which after careful scrutiny declared it a "real"
note but a defective one.
It had been cut slightly short and, the bit that's most interesting,
slightly skewed.
They offered to replace it but I declined and took it to a
numismatologist friend of mine, the guy who sourced the Kruger Rand
and Sovereigns.
He confirmed my suspicion and confirmed that it was in fact a faulty
but legitimate
note and worth far more than its $50 face value.
He has it at the moment and is fielding offers from collectors.
