    7x£20

    She handed it into the garda station and forgot about it. They rang her this week saying she could collect the money because nobody has claimed it :pac:

    Other than cashing them in at the central bank around how much are these worth?

    They have been circulated before but all notes are in great condition, no tears/wears, no pen marks etc etc

    Not really looking to sell just looking to see how much they'd be worth ;)

    Thanks

    The Punt was fixed against the euro at €1.27/£1

    So £140 today will get you €177.80 from the central bank.

    They're not worth anything as collector's items at this point in time. Hold onto them and give them to your grandchildren. Then they may have some slight worth.
