wow "to cheap to send a real one so they only sent a specimen" I would gladly swap a real one for that if they want :)

My thoughts exactly serial.
By what is says in Macca's book all $50 dollars specimens had serial numbers this one doesn't.

mmm interesting and bloody big envelopes back then :scratch_one-s_head: I thought I could see a serial number on the note on the pic that waves across the screen (specimen number 0083 and serial YAA000000, but why did he have gloves on when the other bloke with the glasses didn't, something fishy going on there :winkextra:

I wonder if the guy holding the specimen note realised it was worth around $30,000 to a collector?

Cheers
