Wow ... a $20 bill with a Del Monte Ecuador banana sticker on it may be worth $60,000 at auction. “The placement of the ‘Del Monte Ecuador’ banana sticker is ideal because it covers part of the printing details and is overlaid by part of the Treasury Seal and the bill’s serial number.” I'm concerned that some of the twenty dollar bank notes in my wallet might have counterfeit Del Monte stickers on them. Note: none of the Rolex watches I bought from the same street vendor, have the banana sticker on them, which is a relief. www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/this-20-dollar-error-note-headed-to-auction-is-absolutely-bananas

I'm gonna refrain from bidding and take a chance that won't experience crushing regret for the rest of my life.

I never understood the appeal (pun not intended) of error coins and bills, sure they're rare, but in this case some guy working at the Bureau of Engraving took the sticker off his lunch banana and put it on a blank sheet of money paper, probably intentionally. Is that really worth $59,980? What if it had two stickers on it, would it be worth $120,000?

Modbus, the essence of collecting is: I've got something you don't have. Trying to make any more sense out of it is futile.
