A Pound’s a Pound the world around
March
2009
In my travelling days, I used to keep one note and one coin from every country I visited. I just came across some notes in a photo album and, on a whim, had a look on eBay to see if they are worth anything.
I have a Gibraltar Pound from 1979. This is a £50 so I imagine mine is worth a bit less.
This one has a $255 bid.
I have this one with the exact same date!
I arrived in the Falklands at the end of October 1984, so it was freshly printed and in perfect condition!
eBay says $69.
But…wait..for it….
I also have a £1 note from 15th June 1982 (Argentina surrendered on the 14th).
The starting bid on this £10 note is over $1000!! (Mine is not in as good condition)
