    Get them bagged into the lil cash bags they use in the banks. Put them into a small suitcase with wheels and get yourself to dublin. Nice few bob. :)

    The Central Bank on Dame Street is your only man.They would need to be bagged as another poster stated. You would get nothing for them as scrap and I should think no collector is going to want them. Bite the bullet and give the Central Bank a bell.

    Well you could always try advertising them on Adverts first, and selling them for face or even below as it would save you all the hassle if you can get someone near you to pick them up.
