A nice new shiny florin should do the trick. Ransomers like shiny things. Keeps them distracted so the kidnapee can escape.

I’ve got a small stack of monats I’d like to get rid of.
And a Rhodesian One Hundred TRILLION dollar note.

It all helps.

I’ve got a couple of English shillings from the 1870s and 1880s.

And a brass bar token from US Navy Support Command, Saigon.
