Money, no matter how big or small the amount is, are worth for keeps because you’ll never know when its value could take higher than what it was supposed to  worth during its creation. 

The $1,000 bill known as the Grand Watermelon is only one of the two most expensive paper ever sold at an auction in 2006.  This paper money was printed and used in the late 1890′s.  The red seal printed on the face of the paper is what makes this Grand Watermelon very special.  Aside from the Grand Watermelon note are the 6 existing brown-seal grand watermelon notes. 

This most expensive dollar paper bill was called the Grand watermelon because of the stripes the zeroes were printed with at the back of the paper bill.

The Grand Watermelon was sold at the auction for $2,225 which makes it the most expensive paper money ever sold.  Records tell that the paper bill was sold by a collector to a fellow collector.
