Roll the fiver into a cone too, t amplifies the sound.

(use old knackered vinyl, as I did, because the fiver is very stiff, particularly in the cone shape, and can actually cut into the record)

The second issue (1988) of the new Ten Dollar note in Australia plays records, along with all the values of the third issue from 1992 onwards.
But there are much better things to do with money...BUY more records.

On the Newsbeat video you can actually hear the playback change from left to right track as he flexes the £5 note :happy:

Just tried our Canadian $5 polymer note. It works too. (Our polymer $10, $20, $50, and $100 would too)

This our $5

Our older paper note was also fun to play with

They played "Money, money, money" by Abba. I hope Abba don't try to cash in on this craze!

It is said that the polymer notes are made of a particular kind of plastic that reacts in quite a volatile way with cocaine... and especially when in contact with human skin... Chemically reconstituting, and fusing the three together.

So if you see anyone with a rolled up fiver sticking out of their nose, you know what's happened.
