The things you find when packing up your house (and becoming a Mallsballer)
Mazzle is becoming a Mallsballer again!
So the wife and I are packing up our home, and taking the big drive back Adelaide once again.
It's been 15 years since we lived in little old Adelaide. And I couldn't be more excited about becoming a mallsballer once again.
Packing is not a fun thing to be doing in your spare time (and often leads to the writing of random Steemit posts on my various accounts in silent protest of how much packing sucks...).
But packing is sometimes made exciting when you find random things, such as ancient Australian currency:
Where the hell did these notes come from? They're almost in perfect condition. I honestly have no recollection of ever been given these notes.
For those of you not in Australia, we stopped using the $1 note in 1984 (replaced by the $1 coin) and we stopped using the $2 note in 1988 (also replaced by a coin).
Why, how and when I received these notes I have no idea. I definitely didn't deliberately bring any $1 and $2 notes with me on my various moves around the country over the past 15 years (we've moved state 4 times for those counting).
So I guess the next question is, are the notes worth anything? Well yes, yes they are:
These notes are worth a combined total of $3!
I wish the answer was more exciting than that. Sorry.
Ahh back when we could iron our currency.

Actually, a quick ebay search seems to suggest that might be worth about $10 (less the selling fees/postage etc, so still barely worth selling) given the serial numbers/signatures which is how you date them.
Woohoo! Profit. :D
Hang on to them a little while longer 🤣
Hope the move goes/went smoothly 😄

We're still getting a bunch of shit done for the move. I have a tradie in the house right now fixing some things up. The big drive will be done next week. :)
Looking forward to seeing you at the Jan meetup!
I doubt I'll be able to get to the Jan meet-up. Things are a bit insane this month. But I should be able to get to the Feb one. :)
Hmm if you have some time maybe you can organize small giveaway. I think somebody maybe be glad to get this notes)
