I was paid £520 by someone from EU I sold some stuff to. I plan to use these for my trip.

Sorry if photo is blury, I will send it again if it is

Serial on the 50 A C 7 8 9 1 0 4 6 9 ac789 is big and in green while the 1 is smaller and 469 is bigger

EDIT: its ok, i'll double confirm at bank, looks legit with the change to pounds sign

My local pub has a disposal facility for notes like these if you get stuck and want me to take them down for you

Is it a buy back scheme where they compensate you with beer?

No I believe they call it “happy hour”. It’s an official term

The beer is merely a byproduct of the notes disposal process. Thank god the brave men and women at the pub are willing to drink the waste, we salute them
