That's a lot of fivers for a fiver: New plastic £5 note is selling for £65,000 on eBay - because it has AK47 in the serial number

Collectors have bid £65,000 for a £5 note on eBay - because it has AK47 on the serial number.
The note was put on the auction site by seller Gareth Wright on October 3 - and sparked a frenzied bidding war. 
The bidding now stands at an astonishing £65,000, with one day left to try and purchase the note.
Mr Wright, who lives in Twickenham, said he had withdrawn £10 from a cash machine and got back two new £5 notes. 
He spent one of notes but then noticed the AK47 serial number on the other and so decided to keep hold of it remembering they were fetching hundreds of pounds online.
