Jack Niclaus �5 note

[buttons]

I received a Jack Nicklaus �5note in my change on the train this morning.  It is in mint condition.  I heard somewhere that these are quite rare - is that true?

There has apparantly been a lot of people selling 'em on ebay to American buyers for lots of money. I think UK people can just get them from one of the banks.

This quote from The Royal Bank of Scotland -

"RBS will issue a total of two million of the Nicklaus commemorative �5 notes, which will go into circulation on July 14, the first day of the Open Championship."

Here is the link.

Doesn't sound that rare.
