In the screen-cap of the Swiss passport Ben is listed as "Dean Moriarty". That's the name of the character in On The Road who is based on Neil Cassady. Neil wasn't one who was known to ever want to stay in one place for any length of time, maybe Ben has the same wanderlust.
Moriarty is also the nemisis of Sherlock Holmes... |

I posted this in the screen caps bit... relevant here too...

the british £20 notes were withdrawn fron circulation back in 2001...?
See quote below from the Bank Of England themselves...
26 January 2001
The new style £20 note (featuring Sir Edward Elgar and containing enhanced security features) is now in widespread circulation. Accordingly, the Bank has today given notice that the old style £20 notes (which feature Michael Faraday) are now being withdrawn from circulation and, to give effect to this, legal tender status will be withdrawn from the note on 28 February 2001. After 28 February 2001, bank branches will continue to accept these notes and they will, of course, remain payable at the Bank of England for all time.
There are over 700 million £20 notes in circulation of which around 120 million are Faraday £20 notes. These notes are now used less frequently in day-to-day transactions.
The new design £20 banknote, featuring Sir Edward Elgar on the reverse, was first issued on 22 June 1999. It introduced three new security features – a foil hologram, an ultraviolet feature and micro-lettering.

Ok, maybe this has been brought up somewhere else, but it seems peculiar to me that Ben has all these passports and money for different countries he can go anywhere. He talked about the magic box and that is how he got Locke's Dad there. Or maybe we still don't understand how he got there. Is it possible there's some kind of portal or door he can go in and out of?...just throwing that out there. Any thoughts?

The box is a metaphor. We just don't know what it's a metaphor for... So to speak.
