Workers discovered bundles of old notes as they were snipping up security boxes from offices and former factories for recycling. Kevin Harrington, yard manager at Sackers in Great Blakenham, Suffolk, said they were on their third of eight when they found it.

Bosses handed it in to police who believed the money might be proceeds of crime. They could not find the owners. The money — some water-damaged after rain got into the safe was kept in a police store for more than six months. Sackers then went to court to seek possession as legal finder and the Justice of the Peace ruled they should have it after hearing it was destined for charity.

Boss David Dodds has asked the Bank of England to change the notes into legal tender. It will be split between St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices. Helen Crapnell, Sackers’ marketing boss, said, “We wanted to give the money to somewhere local. They’re great causes to give to, especially so close to Christmas.”
