Though currency collectors might find this upcoming auction video interesting; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=posHFZGyRaE
Really nice photos but who has the money to bid on anything like the bills in this auction. You can dream. Oh wait, If I had a dollar and a dream I could buy a lotto ticket then maybe it can happen.
Who? Heritage regularly sells such rare notes and coins amongst other rare and valuable objects in their signature auctions. They often sell to a very limited base of collectors with the budgets to obtain them and such notes are then infrequently seen at auction again for many years. Who else? Institutions like museum collections and historical organizations with large pooled curatorial budgets may buy such high value rarities. These notes are certainly magnificent to dream about owning, just as Heritage is certain to spotlight them to draw attention to their greater auction listings when the next auction is coming up. They are important for advertising the coming auction and for alerting the discerning collectors of such pieces that such offerings exist. These pieces draw everyone in and just because it's eye candy for most of us, these same auctions often hold an enormous percentage of less expensive and more easily obtainable pieces up for auction too. I highly doubt that the majority of buyers of these high value rarities goes to lotto winners on a regular basis. There is a collector or buyer out there with a budget to match.
