    Someone just completed a 24-year stretch in the Joy and hid the loot before being nabbed.

    Yes, you can, if you take them to the Central Bank. You can change coins, too. It's possible that regular bank branches will also provide this service, but you'd have to ask. The rate has not changed.

    You'd be better off selling them on ebay. You'll get more than face value!

    I was just looking on ebay there, the 10 punt note for example a 1999 or 1998 note is going for around €20 delivered. Not bad considering it's only worth €12.70

    If I had enough money I'd buy them all, over a few years, making them rarer then slowly sell them back on the market for huge profits.

    I got 5 rand in change a few days ago. It looks dead like the 2 euro coin. How much is 500 francs in rands?

    You could burn most of them, the fewer in circulation, the higher the value.

    Do they not have to destroy them, legally or something.

    No, that's a common misunderstanding. They put them all in bags and leave them in empty railway carriages and send them down to Cork and back, in the hope that they will be robbed. But the gangsters don't rob trains no more and only deal in drugs and counterfeit fags and Nike trainers. So they flog em on places like E Bay instead.
