Not a Zloty

Ananova:

A man who went on a trip to Poland ended up with currency ten years out of date.

Architect Matt Spinks, from Wolverhampton, bought the Polish zlotys for a flying visit to look at property. He booked a table for a colleague who had travelled with him and two businessmen in Krakow and then insisted on paying the £100 bill but the waitress told him the money was out of date. Matt was told the £200 of currency the Post Office had given him was worth just 25p.

Matt has been given his money back and £100 on top by Royal Mail bosses.

.... and the letter he posted in 1996 might be delivered this week (c:
but a meal for 4 people for £100 - you can't beat that for value.
