Up to $242.50 - finishes tomorrow
Tippy, you gave me a headache with this bit of info -
Next time you go to the ATM and withdraw money, if you get 5 consecutive $20 notes that are new and crisp, put them away somewhere safe so they don't get creased. I can guarantee that in less than 10 years, they will be worth more than $100, especially if sold to an overseas collector.
I withdrew $1000 from the ATM.
Out came 20 nice, crisp, consecutive $50 notes!!! Now what??!
Can't help it - I gotta spend 'em. Can't keep 'em

OK - have done some juggling of finances.
Can keep 4 - no radars amongst them
How long are we talking here, to keep them?
And will I live that long?

Theoretically you could list them on ebay tonight.....you may not get as much as if you held them for a while but you should make a few bucks profit.

Keep them for a little, we may be getting new notes in the not so distant future.
And then there will be many wanting UNC consec notes.
If you listed a pair of 50 UNC consecs on eBay USA today, I would say you could get around 130 US dollars from any where around the world. It might take a month or so to sell but someone usually pops up that's wants UNC Aussie notes.

I pulled $80 out of the ATM at work a few years ago and they were 4 crisp consecutive notes. I kept 3 and spent the one that I needed to spend. Of course I checked the numbers first! A few months later I had this bright idea to withdraw a few hundred bucks, just after my tax went in. All well used and useless for what I wanted them for. I usually always try to make sure I've got money at work but in the event I don't, I relent and use the ATM there (which costs $2.85 a pop). Every single time since, they have all been well used, useless notes 😞
I found a site a few years ago that listed what all the signatures were on notes right back to the beginning of Australian currency. It was very useful for dating when they were printed. I can't remember where it was now and I'm pretty sure I didn't bookmark it.

Funny guy going by the answers to the questions, a bit of a kiwi larakin I'd say. Hope he does donate it to charity.
