My son returned from s Africa today and mentioned that he took pre2010 uk money back to spend in london and they wouldn't take it. They have new money now and the old stuff is worthless and different. I never heard of that happening there but it did. You had a certain time to turn it in or lose it altogether.
His little trip was very educational for him and me haha.
Mexico did the same some years ago. Their peso had become so worthless that they had to scrap it and begin again. You had a limited time to turn in old pesos in exchange for new ones. Now the old pesos are worthless souvenirs sold in tourist shops.
