Default A stack of Irish pounds - help

Hi,

I am a coin collector and know nothing about banknotes. However, I just came
across a small hoard of Irish Pound notes. I'd like to get some idea of
what's the best thing to do with them all. Here's a rough description of
what I have:

Around 125 (series B?) Irish (Central Bank of) 1 Pound notes in either Unc
or almost Unc condition.
All are from 1989 - last year of issue (according to some stuff on the web).
Around 50 or so are dated 17-07-89 with consecutive serial numbers
The rest are dated 12-04-89 with groups of consecutive serials of 25 or so
each.

Also in the "hoard" a

1. Ten consecutive 5 Pound notes, Unc, dated 29-09-89
2. A few 10 Pound notes all but one well circulated (1988-1990)
3. Two well circulated 50 Pound notes - 1982

My guess is that the 50 Pound and circulated 10 pound notes should be cashed
in (not sure how outside of Ireland). The crisp 1s, 5s and 10 must have some
value above face. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Alex

Only the uncirculated and nearly uncirculated will give you more than
face value. Consecutive numbers might give you a slight premium, but
I think it will be very small (I think that in Europe banknote collecting
is in general not done by serial number).

For the remainder you might try to sell them to collectors at face
value, but I doubt you will find many takers. I do not know whether
there are in the US exchange offices that will exchange out of date
but still redeemable banknotes.

Thanks for the reply.

One more question: If I do decide to try selling these, what's the best
way/place?

Probably Ebay. You'ld get the most exposure (worldwide, really). If
you're just after getting rid of them at face -- you might try a local
coin shop. Many shops also deal with small lots of of "face value"
stuff like this.

If I were going to Ireland anytime soon, I'ld buy them from you!
