I'm sorry, chopped off the last digit. Here's the URL for the $1.95 banknote
with the $4.05 shipping.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9721080481

And here is the same banknote for 10 cents with 50 cents shipping.

And here is a set of 4 notes from the series for 99 cents with $1.00 shipping.

Don't blame Ebay when that doesn't sell.
