Nice idea I think. I'd get a football player to sign a football, a boxer to sign a glove. Why not a money expert to sign money?

Gaz - I was going to say that. Any I think if you've a nice crisp new note then it can be framed or kept as a keep sake.

Why people are asking for Martin's autograph though I have no idea.

If you've watched the Real Hustle lately they've been getting celebrities to sign five pound notes that they win from them.

The thing is, would the bloke's wife then try to sell it on ebay for more than face value?!

You'll know you've really made it when they start asking you to sign £20 notes!!

If I ever saw you, Martin, I would demand a picture with you AND force you to sign a note too;) . But, it is illegal to deface currency, writing, tearing, destroying etc.

How about signing a few cheques!!!! lol
blank ones would probably be most popular and sought after. :whistle:

I was thinking the same thing. There was/is a website in the US that tracks money (participants write the URL on notes) and they wouldn't do a UK version because there seemed to be an issue with the law (although it wasn't crystal clear)
