England 1948 £1 million Treasury Note – $86,000 (£69k)

Weirdly, unlike most pricey rare notes, the most valuable English banknote of all time fetched a fraction of its face value at auction in 2011. The £1 million non legal tender note was printed in 1948 under the post-war Marshall Plan and is just one of two surviving examples.
