Found Grandmas Stash In The Attic :d

Yum! Congrats. You did a good deed in helping your grandma and were rewarded with a nice payday. :)

too bad she didn't save silver coins, instead of those paper bills... you would have 20x more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

About 6 years ago,
as the executor to an uncle's estate, I found about $2,000 in old coins and notes. I handed them to the nominated solicitor, who then advised me to take out all of the numismatically valued items, to be sold at their true value. There were maybe $400 in crisp flat uncirculated $1 and $2 notes.

There was also around $400 in old, well circulated $1 and $2 notes. At this time, the $1 and $2 notes had been withdrawn from circulation many years previous, and completely replaced by coins.

I gave the used notes to my kids who spent them. They received a wide variety of reactions from the checkout chicks, and and whoever else who were asked to receive them as payment.

Some rejected them outright, because they were unfamiliar with them, older people kept them, because they had remembered them from many years previous, and paid out of their own pocket into the till. Surprise, with acceptance or rejection, were the usual reactions. ( with or ).

At least, the kids had an entertaining time spending their money!

WOAH :-O

I believe this is one of those times that the sentimental value would greatly outweigh their intrinsic value. I wish my grandmother was still around and know if she was and if she would have given me anything there would be no way I would ever sell it. Every time you look at those notes you can think of the day you were helping her and found them, that is the stuff that makes the notes priceless in my mind

Very cool

Very nice!
