Is it worth anything?
Guyana small bills and coins [pennies] are collector items, including the Cuffy dollar, sold on Ebay for US$10.00. I have about 30.
I live in a 'behind God's back' town in Northern Canada and Guyana $1.00 bills were sold at an antique fair for CDN$5.00. At one time I saw some on Ebay for US$10.00.
Fortunately, I was able to get 100 new Guyana $1.00 bills in sequence, including Canadian $1.00 and $2.00 bills, that are no longer in circulation.
I also did the same with discontinued Canadian penny in May 2012. I bought rolls of new uncirculated coins for all the children and GC.
I was just asked to sell some East Caribbean coins, that was used in Guyana before independence, but I am undecided.
I placed some Guyana, Canadian and US currency in a 2115 time capsule, for my family and predicted that in the year 2115, all purchases will be done electronically. If I am correct, to go to my grave site and say ' Yes Tola, you were right'.
I had a few of these coins. Also, I had some halfpennies and pennies from 1890, a sixpence, an 1896 shilling and a 1935 buffalo head nickel. They have all been stolen a few years ago.
Skelly, these expensive collectables are getting harder to find and I keep mine in a bank safety deposited box. Even though I have an alarm system at home, with cameras. Burglars here wear hoodies, masks and gloves, so its hard to ID them.
When my house insurance company did not want to give me a discount for an alarm system. I wrote them how I know people breaking into homes and business, when I worked for the phone company. There is no secured security system. Plus the monitoring centre might be thousands of miles away and before they can call a person to check your house alarm, the burglar is gone.
Had one of these too. It's called a 3 cents nickel.
