I should have asked WHERE - I know it's not a bank or exchange, but maybe collectors? Thanks!

There are a lot of variables here:
IRAQ: All notes with Saddam portrait have been demonetized. Currency exchanges and banks won't touch the current notes because there is no market for them
ARUBA: Probably very easy to sell at a currency exchange. The pre-1986 issues have collectible value beyond face value. I buy the 2003 issues @$0.50 / gulden.
TURKEY: Turkey re-monetized in January 2005. 1,000,000 old lira = 1 New (Yeni) Lira. Check the Turkey Central Bank web site to see which ones are current: http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/yeni/eng/index.html
FRANCE: Travelex still buys the 1997 and later French pre-Euro banknotes.
AUSTRALIA: All still valid. The old paper notes might be hard to exchange, though.
GERMANY: 1989 and later notes are still easy to sell. 1949 - 1980 notes will be harder to redeem. Anything earlier, don't bother.
COSTA RICA: Still good, but 500 colones and smaller notes won't be worth the effort.
All others, I not only need the country, I need the dates and denominations to answer your question.
Added later: If you are selling to collectors, please send me a bit more detail as to what you have. Aruba, Germany, and Australia would be of the most interest, since they are going to be the bulk of the value. Anything still redeemable is going to sell on eBay or at any coin shop.

Go to the bank and have it exchanged.
Though the only way to get $70 for those currencies is to have their ratio be 1:1.
In some cases you may get a good ratio to where 70 of that currency = >$70.
Many cases it will be <$70

Take it to a foreign exchange currency exchange company and see how much it's worth.

try craigslist or ebay.
Dont use a credit card, they tack on transaction fees beyond everyone else. In the past they hid now they are upfront about it. http://classaction-lawsuit.info/credit_card_fees.html has some pretty interesting ideas about how they managed to keep 95% of the money they stole.

Two reasons. First the unions didn't want non-union people doing this job. Second the gulf states went for McCain in the last election.
