    It's some jigsaw puzzle - £10,000 in cut-up £10 and £20 notes. What tips can the experts give the binman who made this lucky find, and is now piecing the shredded money back together?

    Six months ago, Graham Hill found £10,000 crammed into two litter bins in Lincoln.

    Are you patient enough to do it!

    I saw something on tv about damaged notes in the USA. I think it was on How It's Made or one of the knock offs. They have a small department of people whose job it is to put back together burnt, ripped, water-damaged notes etc. so they can issue new notes. If the binman had found the cash in the US, they would have to do it for him.

    I'd end up getting fruustrated, putting the pieces in a blender then putting them in the bin for binmen to find


    "Merry Christmas love"
    "Yeah, tip's in the bin"
