found strange money ...am worried

businessdit · 09-01-2014 03:01PM #1

Hi All,

Am worried that one of my pals might be in trouble or something. I was in his car the other day and I was looking for a hat in the glovebox and there was a wad of money. Nothing too strange there except for the fact that all of the money was strange middle eastern money from different countries. Also it wasn't all from the same country. Really colourful money that you probably cant exchange for euro in Ireland. I calculated some of it using a converter online and each note is only worth a few euro, but iim just confused and worried that my friend has got himself tied up in something funny. HI know for a fact he has not been out of the country in the last few years.

Does anyone know of a use for such money in Ireland or a reason to carry such a diverse range of notes. Something smells very fishy and Im worried.

Thanks,
Al

Mind your own effing business unless asked.

How much does a pound of c4 go for these days?

TheMilkyPirate · 09-01-2014 03:03PM

Maybe he collects notes? If the notes are only worth a few euro each I wouldn't be too worried it's not as if it's any of your business anyway.

Collecting it ?

I used to have about £100 of small denomination foreign notes , made a poster out of it, hung it on the wall. Looked great until some cnut stole it during a party one night.

mickydoomsux · 09-01-2014 03:04PM

Are they Bitcoin notes?

anncoates · 09-01-2014 03:04PM

He's going to open one of those crap wacky tourist pubs with foreign bank notes pasted on the walls.

Check his room for Guinness toucan pictures and rusty milk churns to confirm.

Pudders · 09-01-2014 03:04PM

Why were you looking for a hat in the glove box? Surely the hat will have been in the hat box?

marialouise · 09-01-2014 03:06PM

Don't think this is the place to ask...
Also as you say it's only worth a few euro.
And your friend's finances really aren't any of your business.

Would the colours deem it inexchangeable? I doubt it!

Also, the easiest thing to do would hae just been to ask him there and then. "Woah what's all this?" Now you know for next time.

ScumLord · 09-01-2014 03:07PM

He's clearly a spy, it's your duty as an Irish citizen to protect Ireland's secrets from the Russians. Eliminate him.

AnonoBoy · 09-01-2014 03:07PM

I know you think it smells fishy but I wouldn't worry. It's probably just a load of carp.

biko · 09-01-2014 03:09PM

Maybe a relative/another friend has travelled and brought it back for him?

But hey, since you posted in AH: he's a terrurist! Alert the NSA!

If its legal tender you can exchange it

Just because your mate has a few quid in other currencies does not mean he is dealing with Al Qaeda

Using it as bait to catch nosey intruders?

Ruu · 09-01-2014 03:10PM

Are your sure it isn't just clubcard vouchers or monopoly money?

SEPT 23 1989 · 09-01-2014 03:12PM

Was there a Go to Jail card mixed up in the money?

mb1725 · 09-01-2014 03:16PM

Maybe he's one of the Troika?

Daqster · 09-01-2014 03:16PM

My Dad used to have a wad of such notes in the kitchen cabinet and I also thought he had become a drug runner for the Columbia cartel, but alas not, they were all just tips he received from people flying in to Ireland as he was a baggage handler and used to be given them after helping wheel bags as far as the taxi rank, or at least that what he told me. Drug dealers, you just can never tell with 'em.

wretcheddomain · 09-01-2014 03:17PM

I think he should be more worried that you're willing to go through his stuff in such detail.

MonaPizza · 09-01-2014 03:20PM

Why would he be mixed up in something dodgy?
Maybe he as a work colleague who travelled around the ME and had the cash after he came back and dropped it at work or some crap.

humbert · 09-01-2014 03:21PM

Someone who has been abroad recently has a collection of small value notes from a collection of foreign countries and that is grounds for suspicion? The mind boggles.

bazza1 · 09-01-2014 03:21PM

Wait until he is asleep...tie him up and away to Guantanimo with him! He is obviously well in with Al Qaeda. Your application for work with Homeland security is going well!

He is probably going to buy himself an Irish soccer football club.

Ask him and then get back to us to let us know.

What does the person's gender have to do with any of this?

Staplor · 09-01-2014 03:44PM

Check the serial numbers, if they are non sequential he probably got it from some form of extortion, if they are sequential, then he's just a sloppy extorter, I'd stay well away, law enforcement agencies will be combing the area for him.

uch · 09-01-2014 03:44PM

I'd rob the lot of it, that'll learn him

Piliger · 09-01-2014 03:50PM

Call the cops like any normal person would.

Should of asked him instead of allowing your paranoia to get the better of you.

Are you the proud owner of a tin-foil hat by any chance?

Huh .. How many people do you know that go around with 'wads of money' in their glove boxes ? :rolleyes:

Monopoly money?

Maybe it's a few versions of monopoly money from different middle-eastern countries that he collects now as part of a new hobby.

It's not a good joke, if that helps.

I have (feck all) Euros, (feck all) Croatian money, (feck all) Malaysian money, (feck all) Sterling and (feck all) Northern Ireland sterling notes in my wallet at the moment. You might claim that Northern sterling is the same as the rest, but the stupid Chinese won't accept it. The takeaway across the road, that is, as opposed to the Chinese people as a whole. They're a great bunch of lads.
Some people just collect foreign monies, OP. I nearly had all of the Euro coins collected and then they went and started letting the riff-raff countries in and I gave up

Ohhhhh. I get jokes.

Are you sure he's not just storing his monopoly board game in the glove compartment? Did you happen upon and little silver charms or tiny green houses while you were snooping?;)

emmabrighton · 09-01-2014 04:56PM

Maybe he received a "care package" from one Nigerian Prince that has been looking for quite some time, might I add, for a contact in Ireland...

I, for one, am happy that Mojubaoluwa was able to sort out his money issues once and for all!

Sounds like your pal is a rentboy collecting tips from rich foreigners.
