I heard about a couple of jokers once, who drove down to Mexico from Texas
to pick up old Mexican coins - as many as their pick-up truck would
carry. They were busted at the border for bringing over too large
a quantity of undeclared currency. So much for profiting from the money.
I have one that I saved from my Summer in England in 1985, when they were
still tender. I'd heard they were replacing them with Pound coins and
kept one as a $1.56 souvenir.

All British
notes that I've seen have been in pounds...
Yes, got a couple off eBay. Looking for a deal with some Brits to send them
back. Does the UK have sports memorabilia per se? Soccer or
cricket perhaps?
Cards, programs, any printed matter?
I would expect phone cards are collectable there. They are in N.Z.
