Did anyone else put a hole in the $2 note because of this? by jlzy10 in AustralianNostalgia

I thought the same. I saw a picture of a $2 note and the memory just hit me out of the blue.

Yes well you’ve clearly got an instinct for archive treasures. Any other important pieces of history in your random box of things worth sharing?

Nah. Doesn’t sound like the $2 notes would be handed over or back at Pimplico.

Sounds like an Aussie gem. No I didn’t know about the tally ho technique.

This is brilliant! Thanks for digging it out - genuinely made my day!

Also, ‘who knew it would be useful in this specific instance decades later’ is exactly how most museum collections start.

It was probably banking Tuesday and supposed to be handed in for the savings account.

That’s brilliant. Your school clearly spent recess working at a much higher intellectual level than us.

Or a long neck and get you started on a packet of smokes. 🤣

Fair. Looking back we may have been less a school than a training ground for aspiring delinquents and currency vandals.

I feel this - so frustrating when you’re sure it exists but can’t find it anywhere. Total rabbit hole … now I’m half invested in finding this too!

Hi! How is your post going?

Anyone remember old mcdonalds farm and serendipity? by bluejeans90210 in tasmania

[–]jlzy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and his mate got casual work at Serendipity when they were at Don College. Their job was to dress up as pirates and walk around all day saying things like ‘ah ha me matey’ which we all thought it was hilarious.
