You know the world's going bat shit crazy when people are buying five pound notes on ebay

Some are going for up to £200.

If you have one with a serial number starting with aa01, you might be one of the lucky ones

That's madness! There's a cash machine near me which gives fivers, I might try there and see if I can get one. They sound like they'll be too scratchy to put in your bra / sock for emergency taxi money on a night out though.

We had plastic fivers in Northern Ireland a few years ago. Never heard anyone say they liked them. The fact that the bank stopped issuing them suggests my hearing wasn't selective!

"200 quid for a fiver??? Are they limited release or something?? "

The aa01 slnotes were the first to be released. Which is why they are more valuable...supposedly anyway.

Aa01 0000001 or somethijg like that was given to the queen. And the rest were released to the small people...oops I mean public

Essex.

Somebody has started a #firstfiver or something similar.

It asks that you give your first new fiver to a charity, any charity.

Apparently it's taken off on one of the social media thingies...

My brother mentioned something about this! Have got one, but it's not one of the aforementioned batch beginning with "AA01", yet I still can't bring myself to spend it!

The Australian and Canadian plastic notes don't sit well in a bra so I expect these will be uncomfortable too. I haven't had one yet.

I've got one with AB.

I may save it for a few years incase the whole of the 'A' serial numbers get more valuable.

There's a campaign asking people to give their first one to charity.

This is a report from the Telegraph and the value is due, as you say OP, to the low serial numbers on these particular, uncirculated, mint condition new fivers.

For collectors who like such things.

I paid £5 for 5 $100,000,000,000 (one hundred trillion dollars, Zimbabwe) notes, which would buy you maybe a Mars Bar and a half.

I gave most of them away - "Here you go, have one hundred trillion dollars."

It's a funny old world.

OMG.

I bought those a few years ago because they were weird and the largest denomination banknote ever produced, frittered them away and now they're actually worth something.

The cheapest I found was for £24, going up to £79.99.

WOW.

And to think what I did with them

Surely that's a hundred billion. A hundred trillion would be 100,000,000,000,000

To be honest they don't really feel much different apart from no grain like paper a lot smoother, I seen my first yesterday, wasn't mine so I couldn't give it the scrumple challenge

I haven't seen one yet. They'd better fold; my purse organising requires fivers to do so.

I have a few of the 50ps that are classed as rare as well as a couple of £2 coins ... I'll keep hold of them for a bit and see if their values rise significantly

I got 2 of the new fivers from the post office the other day, specifically so my son could see, feel and smell a brand new one ( he's autistic) before it got contaminated
