A group of tradies working on a suburban development site at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast unearthed $200,000 worth of old-style cash notes, preserved in several plastic containers.
The Criminal Investigation Branch of the Queensland Police are currently undertaking forensic testing on the notes, which are presently understood to be $100 bills of an unknown currency.
Local resident Gina Christeson stated that the discovery was one that has incited curiosity and suspicion in the quiet neighbourhood- also admitting that she might start digging around her own land, in the hopes of a likewise discovery.
