Don't Fold, Don't Iron

Don't fold, don't iron... 

Ned had some NZ notes left over from our trip in 1988, that he brought on this trip. Apparently, they no longer make or use the $1 note. Today, at the iSite (tourist information), he purchased a $10 tee shirt and pulled out an old $10 NZ note with which to pay. The young gal helping us was not even born in 1988, but loved the pictures on it. Had she $10, she would have swapped it for us. The older woman working there suggested we take it to a bank, as she had never seen this particular note before either. 

Apparently, it is a limited edition that is no longer in circulation and is, according to the teller at the WestPac Bank, now worth at least $70! However, she has advised me to stick it in a book to press it b/c folds decrease the value and it cannot be ironed b/c, like most bank notes in this part of the world, is made mostly of plastic. Who knew?
