Willy Wonka Golden Ticket

Post by Rugby Gooner »

An artist has etched a head portrait of Emily Bronte on to 4 of the new polymer £5 notes.
It is situated to the right of Big Ben in the clear "window."
One has been circulated by him in England,Scotland,Wales,and Northern Ireland in the previous couple of days.
At the moment their value is £50,000 per note.
Get checking,and don't forget my 10% if you find one! :D :barscarf:

Another completely stupid story from the press/artist.

'An artist' - Picasso? Tracey Emin? or someone we've never heard of.

Why would they be worth 50k? Because the artist says so? it's like the fivers with AK47, or 666 which were on e-bay for 50k, only nobody bought them, because they're worth five pounds, not fifty thousand.

If you find one you're better off combining it with the other fiver bullshit story and frying it up with some eggs for breakfast.

Apparently he is a recognised artist,renowned for "inscribing" his work in the eye of a needle,or on the head of a pin etc.
His work is so intricate that he has to slow his heart beat down then work between the beats.
The £50,000 approximate valuation was put on them by an Art Dealer
