[vickiheagren]

My dad ha found some old coins and notes,and he has asked me to try and find out the value of these. They are as follows:
5 Australian Dollars
10 Hongkong Dollars
50 Rupees
1 Irish Pound Note
3 English Pound Notes
10 Shillings
3 pence piece (x5) 1944,1937,1952,1967,1965
Half Pence (x3) 1940,1962,1965
Two Shillings Coin 1949
Two Shillings Coin 1967
One Shilling Coin 1950
One Shilling Coin1948
Six Pence (x4) 1956,1930,1962,1957

And also he has an Australian Postage Stamp dated 1997 Special Edition Series Number 97-1161

I know this is a long list!! But i would be very grateful if you could reply to me with a rough estimate of what these are worth, we would really appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Vicki

I doubt they are worth much at all to be honest.

The aussie dollars are worth about �2, the Hong Kong dollars less than a pound and the same for the rupees. Such small amounts that you wouldn't find anyone willing to change them.

The english coins/notes are not worth a great deal either. They are not particularly old and there are plenty of them about. You could try taking them to a coin dealer but don't get your hopes up.

Can't say anything about the stamp, I've no idea.

If you take the 3 English pound notes to a bank they will give you face value for them, ie give you 3 �1 coins.
