Now I know this should be on another forum but I wanted to show this to my friends here.
Has anyone ever seen something like this? To me, I think this is so cool!
One must look very CLOSE. It is not what appears at first. Lol.

    The notes on top and bottom are genuine, the rest are just paper

    That's would be my guess. Is it embedded in Lucite or is it just sitting in a plastic box?

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I can picture a crack head burglar with a set of hedge clippers trying to free the imprisoned bills.

    I remember those... a couple of people I knew purchased them... Cheers, RickO

  • goldengolden Posts: 8,807 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I bought one about 50 years ago. I sold it on Ebay a number of years ago.

    Maybe that 2nd note is missing the front printing! A rare error! :D

    For an April Fool's joke, does anyone care to guess what it weighs? I'll take a photo of the answer when someone guesses the exact weight. Well, at least within 2 ounces. Lol. :D
