When is a $20 bill worth $10,000 plus? When it’s found to be overprinted with a bright red, yellow and gree Del Monte fruit sticker apparently.
The so-called “banana note” snuck out of Treasury Department printing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, when checking precedures failed to spot the error. Daniel Wishnatsky of Phoenix paid just over $10,000 for the bill in a 2003 auction on e-Bay and now Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers of Dallas is auctioning the bill in Orlando, Florida.
The Heritage Galleries website has a comprehensive catalogue description.
