5 Shillings

 I have had a few stamp days of late with crap weather and lock downs etc so I got around to a box of stamps that has been sitting on the side for a while.  At the very top was a packet of unopened stamp packs. Some have envelops, others have printed cards but all different sizes.  One was worth $140 on account it was a rare one printed in Japanese for  Osaka Expo 1970.  So I was poking around for a box to store odd sized stamp packs in  and I found some documents from primary school. It was right at the time of decimal currency.  Very officious paperwork says that Debbie is entitled to 5 Shillings worth of merchandise.  I wonder what she got. 



This report is written on tissue paper. I see a perfect score but only equal 1st in the grade

original cost 25c now valued at $140
