I became the inheritant of Gold Plated Belize Notes; 25 of them, and want to cash them in or sell them. They’re all from, and the most part of; a collection in an album with the certificate of their authenticity. I want to know if I can trade them for cash here in the U.S.or does one have to go to Belize; or whom would one seek out, with maybe an interest in buying them? anYOne out there know about Notes from Belize?

Yes, just call around. You can always go to the airport and have it done at a currency exchange station.

These sound more like collector’s items. I would try to determine the value before I just “cashed” them in for US currency. Go to a coin shop and ask for an appraisal. I’m willing to bet they’re worth more than face value.
As for general currency exchanges, if it’s a bank you have accounts with, they will be happy to do normal currency exchanges, though there will probably be a nominal fee for the transaction.

Here is what the Standard Catalog of World Banknotes, Modern Issues, 13th edition (2008) has to say about them:
“The Central bank will no longer exchange these notes for regular currency. Value is thus speculative.”
The set is listed in the catalog as P-CS1. Catalog value for the set of 36 pieces is $325. The set consists of $1 (1 pc.), $2 (2 pc.), $5 (3 pc.), $10 (4 Pc.), $20 (2 pc.), $25 (6 pc.), $50 (7 pc.), $75 (5 pc.), and $100 (6 pc.).
eBay is probably your best bet for selling them. You might get half of catalog at a coin shop for them.
