A fake ￡5 note featuring the face of DPRK leader Kim Jong-un has been put up for sale after a British man from Manchester found the bizarre banknote in his pocket after a night out.

Ant Norfolk revealed on Facebook that he "dropped" a note in a bar, which a stranger was kind enough to "give back" to him. He didn't notice that the face of Queen Elizabeth II on the note had been changed to Kim until next morning.

"Really it was someone playing a joke," the 24-year-old said on his Facebook page.

Ant is now selling the novelty fiver on eBay and says he will give half the money to charity. It has already attracted a bid of ￡50.
