I found this $20 bill in the change when shopping at the grocery store.

You got an Australian $20 note in change in Canada? That means you just lost money. Anyway, can you post pics of what you found?

If you find the right people, I am certain it is worth way more than face value!

Some people, especially Chinese like 8s because they sound auspicious. Wouldn't hurt to try your luck.

Haha, I got this note in Australia. I flew to Australia to visit some friends. There are only 6 digits on the old $20 bill. Is 000888 seen as a low serial number#65311;

It would probably be a keeper in the US, not sure about Canada.

You can probably find a Chinese buyer at a price that would make it worth your while.

The lowest I have ever found is 000xxx but I didn't think it was low enough to keep.
The solid 8s might make it saleable as others have mentioned.

Thanks for clarifying where it was obtained. Can you post pics? The condition is quite important, as @jimbucks mentioned.
