Is there a five hundred pound banknote?

The Bank of England did issue £500 notes between 1725 and 1943. They remained legal tender until April 1945, although they are still valid notes which can be exchanged by the Bank of England for modern notes. Because of their rarity, they are worth considerably more than £500.

The highest value current English note is £50. Scotland and Northern Ireland both produce £100 notes - which are the highest value legal tender Pound Sterling notes.

What is a 1944 500000 apaxmai note worth?

I assume that you are referring to a 5,000,000 Drachmai note from Greece (the first letter, called "delta" in greek, looks a little like an "a" in some fonts).

The Greek Drachma is no longer in use, having been supplanted by the Euro in January 2002 at a rate of 340.75 drachma to the euro.

My guess is that your note dates to 1941-1944, which was an era of hyper-inflation in Greece (and the only time a bill over 50,000 drachma was issued).

In 1944, the drachma was revalued at 50,000,000,000 to 1, and in 1953 again by 1000 to 1. That would mean that your 5,000,000 drachma bill, were it exchangable (and I seriously suspect it was long ago demonetized) would be worth 1/10,000,000 of a 2002 drachma, or about 1/3 of a billionth of a euro (this is effectively zero).

As for a value to collectors, that would largely depend on the condition of the bill and the rarity of the particular bill issue in question.

*****Not wanting to delete the historical information above, this note books for about $3 in perfect uncirculated condition - so would be an interesting conversation piece to hold onto.

Are banknotes of 5000000 issued by bank of jugoslavija valid still?

The country of Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 2003 and none of the notes issued by the former Bank of Yugoslavia have been honoured since the introduction of the Novi Dinar in 1994 which was pegged to the German Mark (at the rate of 12,000,000,000,000,000 1993 Dinar = 1 Mark), which would make your 5m note worth about 1 trillionth of a US cent).

The 5,000,000 Dinar note was issued twice during the countries hyper-inflationary period between 1992-94 and was mostly worthless during it's period of issue, with denominations reaching 500,000,000,000 Dinar during this time.

The note, in mint uncirculated condition, is worth $2-3 to a collector.

I wish I knew the answer to that one, myself. I have a number of much less than mint condition post-WWI Polish banknotes with valuations running between 1/2 and 500 marek. I suppose the thing to do would be to contact a coin dealer.

What is value of foreign coins?

That depends quite a bit on what you have! Are your foreign(*) coins current circulation pieces? What country or countries are they from? If they're current issues (e.g. Japanese yen, British pounds/pence or EU euros/cents), your best bet would be to find someone who's travelling to one of those places and sell them at the current exchange rate. You can find rates posted on line or in the financial section of any major newspaper. Unfortunately most exchange agencies (American Express, Deak, etc.) don't want to exchange coins, only bills, so you'll have to trade them privately. If they're older coins or very mixed, you'll need to take them to a hobby shop or somewhere similar to have them looked at in person. In most cases they're probably not worth more than their face value, maybe less if they're no longer used (e.g. francs, marks, lira, etc.) but you still ought to make sure you don't have some more valuable piece mixed in. If they're common, a dealer will only pay you a small amount and will probably put them in a grab box. (*) Please note that I had to make a minor spelling correction to your posting so that the word "foreign" could be found by a standard search.

What is the value of a 2002 English Five Pound note with ink that can be rubbed off?

The production process of these notes included a varnish applied to the paper before the serial number was printed, allowing them to be easily rubbed off. This makes them slightly rarer than the replacement notes and worth about £15 ($25) in mint uncirculated condition.

The replacement notes, with the varnish applied over the serial numbers, are worth slightly less at £11 ($18).

Either note in any condition other than mint uncirculated is worth only face value.
