In this day and age, is royalty worth having?

Royalty keeps life colorful. I like the tradition of having Royalty. Even if they are nothing more than figure heads, Royalty give their countries a sense of pride (most of the time) and a tangible connection to centuries of history. We, the US, as a relatively new country may have a difficult time understanding this concept.

unless they are in near mint condition, they are worth about as much as you treasure them.  Not many collectors are searching for this series right now. Wait for an anniversary of the series or of the author's death and then check online at Ebay or search for a rare book store near you.

Now. Just OMO.\n  We live in luxury and comfort, with health and longevity, medical care and security, social and otherwise, enjoyed by even the lowest classes in society, that the Aristocrats, Kings and Emperors of the past, would envy, including our Education. Intellectual life was never so good, and\nwe are overwhelmed with the variety and ways we can entertain ourselves. \n  I believe that future civilisations will look back on us now as a Golden Age, perhaps calling us Roosevelts America, as some historians refer to Pericles Athens as the highpoint and golden Age of Athens and Greece.

If you're talking real money, then probably not, considering that Germany is now on the EU system.\n\nIf you're talking collector value, then you definitely have a great find.

Is it fair that Prince William gets to be king and I don't?\n\nIs it fair to everyone else in the UK that their tax dollars go to support a family of unelected morons?\n\nLife isn't fair.  From where I'm sitting, Prince William is one of the luckiest of us.

Not sure if you would try on something on the internet. You do some typing for some income. In the meantime, if you can contribute ideas through your typing or writing, you earn a good royalty.

That would be very valuable.  Take good care of it.

The monarchy is for show.  It is tradition, nothing more.  Right now it is not really exciting.  There are no dynamic or charismatic people to watch.  People liked Princess Di, but Prince Charles and Camille, they are ugly and boring.  The young princes maybe interesting when they get a little older, we will see.

Yes, I do and it means royalty

Not right now. Those are still in circulation. You need to wait a few more years, decades even-- and at that those bills will only be worth a higher value if they are in mint condition.

The above question is neither for or against the Monarchy, it is asking your opinion!! So not jumping to conclusions on whether or not YOU personally want rid of them I shan't insult you as I answer. As a previous answer states the vast array of anti-monarchy answer show just how many people have "sour grapes" Things like: Why should people be born into wealth? and: Why should they get to spend vast sums of money on frivolous things when they have never worked a day in their lives? Easy answers to those two really- the first is just jealous people who are irked because they weren't born into wealth. The second is slightly more worrying. The people who say this don't seem to have a grasp on reality, everyday there is some TRASH written in tabloids and rags all the country over slurring the royal family or revealing some dirty secret. Everyday the Queen has to listen to inane country legislation and discussing it, some days more important than inane. In times of rememberance and worry the Queen is there-someone to look up to and listen to-indeed someone to respect- the countless charities that exsist solely because of Her? RSPCA? RSPCC?  The thousands She has raised for charities? The millions upon millions She and her family bring to THIS country. Which by the way is HERS'! We were given the right to rule the country as a democracy-we were not GIVEN the country! And why should we be? Why shouldn't somebody be born into Her Impossible position? The weight of a country on your shoulders every day the stress of constantly being within the publics focus. If all this isn't a job that is worth more than it's weight in gold I don't know what is. Besides all that there are millions of other roles that She fills that I don't even know about. Things like being able to dissolve parliment and dissmiss ministers. The powers that she has over govertment may not have been used-yet.but they are there and very real (reassuring yes?)  Her father when crowned was known for saying it was the worst thing ever to happen to his Very happy family why? Because it is hard work being the Head of State, and he knew what this meant for one of his daughters and so on forever down the line. Constant Hard Work. Better somebody be born ito this position than fighting and striving (you might say lusting ) after such a position of power- somebody with an agenda, their own ideas, not a neutral source to look to when these "somebodies" start getting unreasonable. The Queen should stay She more than works for all that is Hers and this land is indeed still hers, rightfully so!!!

At the very least, they are worth there bullion value, that is, whatever silver is selling for today. If on the other hand, they are in excellent condition, they could be worth significantly more. Take them to a coin dealer and find out. It won't cost you anything.

No, some are and some aren't. A lot of dukes come from families that were here before the present royal family.\nThe present royal family are comparatively new immigrants coming over from Germany in the 18th Century; they have some relations in this country and many more in Germany\nYou have to be related by birth or marriage.
