Eating 5pound notes for 5.01 on ebay, starting bankroll required?

[adamwil]

hi,

i had a crazy/genius idea to auction me eating 5pound notes for a min bid of 5.01 + fees.

my target is to eat 100million 5quid notes

i need some help, if i was skint what starting bankroll would i need to cope with 5 day withdrawls so i can keep the business going?



also would i live eating over 500mil 5 pound notes?

and..

what if i had some +ev moments when i actually pass a full 5 pound note?

and how long would it take for me to make 1 million?

thanks

I think it's a crime to willfully destroy currency.

Why would anyone pay you to do this. Seriously, this is a very bad business idea.

Also, im pretty sure enough of the note would survive but im not 100% sure. All you need is the metal strip in one piece and it is possible to be changed to intanct notes.

I think your stomache acid would leach the ink off, which might be quite bad.

If it were plastic money, like used in Australia, it would be pretty intact once out the other end.

It is a crime to deface the face of the Queen, so ripping up a postage stamp is illegal.

But im pretty sure no one has ever been taken to court, let alone convicted of destroying currency.

If you need to, eat £1 coins. Probably safer too.

Dunno about the bankroll you'd need, but can't imagine the foil in the hologram and that vertical dotted line (whatever it's called) is gonna be particularly good for your health.

You might come up against a bunch of pissy Royalists too who start quoting the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928 at you. Think you can be prosecuted under a bunch of archaic laws both for defacing an image of the queen (technically treason) and destroying British currency.

Otherwise, I say go for it!

well i doubt i would damage the note if i just swallowed it?
