A cereal company was putting foreign cash in breakfast cereal (no kidding) about 20 or so years ago. I never knew what to do with them or what they are worth. For instance:
Banco Central de la Republica Argentina mil pesos.

I think it was General Mills that did that. Most of the banknotes involved in the giveaway were worthless as currency but interesting as collectibles (Both the Argentina and Bolivia notes have long since been demonetized and no longer have any face value or legal tender status). If I remember correctly, there were two notes in that giveaway that were actually worth something - the then-current Ireland 1 Punt note (worth about US$1.40), and another one that was worth about $50 (I don't remember what note that was, only that I never heard of anyone actually getting one).

Not very much. I have some of that foreign money from the cereal promotion. I had a Boliviano and it was worth at the time $0.007. That is 7 one thousandths of one dollar.

if it was in a cereal box, they are probably worth pennies at best - very high inflation in S. American countries in recent yrs - 100-1000%
