Del Monte $20 bill set to sell for nearly $60,000 – barring banana skins

Rare printing error - or creative addition by bored employee - makes 2004 banknote a collector's item, auctioneer says

Officially, it is classified as an obstructed printing error with retained obstruction". In reality, it appears to be a simple slip-up.

A $20 banknote which had a sticker from a bunch of bananas attached to it before it was overprinted with security numbering is now up for auction at a Texas dealer, the rare error elevating its worth to $57,500, almost 3,000 times its face value.
