Margaret and Patricia Hipsley, both 85, have lived together in the four-bedroom home in Bondi Junction, in Sydney 's Eastern Suburbs their whole lives and recently made the momentous decision to change address.

It looks as though it has not been re-decorated in decades and boasts Edwardian mirrors, pink frilly cushions, chintz armchairs and dark wood bookcases filled with battered classics.

The 50 Rupee note issued between 1968 and 1973, which is only worth about £2.50, went under the hammer at an auction house in Dorset. Secretly hidden in the trees behind the monarch's face is the word sex - which can be read clearly if the note is turned on its side.
