    The central bank in Dublin will change it.
    The rate is 0.787564 (punt) to the Euro.

    Bring it to The Central Bank. Not sure how much you'll get for it though.

    Frame it.
    That's what real money used to look like.

    That's unusual. For one thing £50 notes weren't nearly as common as the €50 note is today (which seems to be everywhere). Most I'd usually deal with would be £20s.

    Then again I was probably just poorer back then.

    My heart skipped a beat when I read this!

    I lost a fifty euro note a few days ago.

    Still really depressed over it. Fifty bloody euros.

    Bet some antisocial scumbag found it aswell, instead of a pretty girl or charity worker!

    No of course not. I just mean that someone found that note and it probably made their day, and I'd rather it wasn't some skanger :pac:

    Because the charity worker would be giving it to said charity. Or so I would like to think.

    yeah but i didn't choose to give it said charity - i lost it and therefore would have absolutely no issue with requesting the return of the money.

    Never. Unless it's an Irish charity for a real cause in Ireland (a hospital, not the fcuking ISPCA), and even then it'd be a rare event indeed.

    Man I was only jokin but talk about being a scrooge...

    Why wouldn't you give to the ISPCA? I take it you have no pets and are of the understanding that "it's only an animal".

    Sell it privately and you'll get more than the central bank will give
