Want to buy a new fiver... for €6.90?

Plus postage, naturally.

WELL, IF THIS isn’t enterprising we don’t know what is.

You can buy a new five euro note from a guy in Offaly for the princely sum of €6.90. That, my friends, is economics.

Oh, there’s also postage of €2.25.

Surely in a few years it will be a collectors item and worth at least €11.40? See? Economics.
