    The OP said 'found in an old wallet'.  How old, is it a current issue Euro note?

    Took a trip into town this morning- past by a Post Office & got £3.70 

    Paid for my morning coffee 

    Happy days 🙂
  • I think the time spent on this conversation is much more valuable than the banknote involved.
    I always keep the loose change from trips abroad (much less now as almost all my spending is by card).  A couple of years ago, I traded the whole lot in (apart from Euros) with a specialist company which accepts current and old currency and got about £100 for it.  I keep Euros so that I have an emergency cash fund for my next visit: no rush finding airport ATM etc.

    It doesn't matter, the old (1st) series is still valid. I think once these old notes get to a bank they take them out of circulation but it's still absolutely fine to pay with them

    I bought some Lek from a Facebook person, only £21 worth but exactly what I wanted.
