Guatemala..........Banana Republic

 

Someone was bored at work eating a banana stuck it on bill?

 

A read an article somewhere about people that collect the Chiquita banana stickers. Apparently they are a lot of "varieties". No clue why it is on a dollar bill though.

 

Yes! That was me.. I stuck the sticker on the Dollar Bill this morning. But it actually represents something cool

 

3 Hints.

1 - It's an Oddity found on a higher denomination.
2 - it's been mentioned somewhat here on CT
3 - It's been certified by PCGS

 

The BEP banana sticker error.

 

@lettow Correct!
Del Monte Sticker on a $20.00 Bill
Known as the Del Monte Note..
this error type is called a "retained obstruction."


Some information - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Monte_note

 

I had a coworker many years ago who was wearing a Banana Republic T-shirt that said Banana Republic in big letters on the front.. Someone seriously asked him "Oh, is that where you are from?" He became so mad. He told the person "No! I'm from Haiti" .. Some people are really dumb

 

That's Bananas !!

 

Haiti.....Ecuador.....Guatemala.....They're all the same.....Banana Republic!

What I'd like to know, Mr. P., is who was the monkey that put the Del Monte sticker on the sheet of paper in the first place.

 

I read that an BEP employee was probably eating a banana and when the Del Monte sticker came off it stuck to the sheet and then was printed over.
He said "oh oh that's not good"

 

First to come to my mind also!

 

It represents one banana...

 

Isn't there another Del Monte banana sticker on on older bill from the 1970's? Or am I thinking of the Band Aid note?

 

I have one( $2 ) from 1976 with a stamp !

 

That one does not count.. Novelty Item

 

I didn't know Chiquita was a TPG. Or are they just a CAC competitor?

 

These dollars definitely do have a peel.
