<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 1209251, member: 6641"]Had a coworker bring in a freezer bag of notes today for me to look at. They were notes his father collected from the late 50's to the early 70's both at his business and during travels overseas. I told him to take the 30 some-odd 1957 SC's and spend them in town. He folded them into his pocket and said he would buy gas with them on his way home from work. I gave him back about 40 foreign notes and told him to put them back in his sock drawer as they had little to no value. Twelve notes I brought home. Some of these are for my collection and the rest will find homes in someone else's collection. Three of the notes had an interesting story that went with them. He said a client came into his Dad's place of business and gave them to him. He said that they would be worth money someday. A couple days later the same guy is found in his car with two new holes in his head. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I am glad to add some foreign notes to my collection but there is more sad news to go with this story.
