Madame and I have been clearing a relatives loft and come across a jar of about 250 Florins. They seem to date from about 1937 to about 1967 when they went out of circulation.
They are quite a pleasing coin to handle being a bit chunky in your hand, but beyond that i've no interest or sentimental attachment, si i'm not sure what to do with them. Presumably somebody likes to collect these things but i'm not sure how to sell them - ebay perhaps?
Any other exciting ideas greatly received!
A quick Google suggests that they can be worth between £6 - £100 each as bullion depending on silver content which depends on when they were minted. Early & rare mintages could be worth as much as £450 (all this is dependent on Google AI being right of course).
Presumably as they're no longer coins of the realm the can be melted down.
You could be sitting on a reasonable amount there although I suspect an expert eye might be needed to spot the collectable ones.
250 florins? Get ye to an opium den and pick up a harlot on the way 😀
Opium and wenches would be the choice of the heart. Having someone who knows their florins would be the choice of the head.
Might be enough for a gallon of petrol or maybe only enough for a nice new bike or two.

I know someone that used to buy thousands of pounds of shillings to find the pre-46 ones with silver content. They would be exchanged with nameless people that clearly had a desperate need for silver.
Buy tulip bulbs, it's the next big thing.
I sold a load of random old money on eBay, mostly notes but also commemorative coins etc.
My FiL collected it as souvenirs from the foreign countries he visited.
Mostly it wasn't worth much but some was and it added up to a tidy sum overall.
