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.

I would expect phone cards are collectable there. They are in N.Z.
