A $20 bill that somehow ended up with an ordinary fruit sticker printed into it sold for $25,300 Friday.
A Dallas auction company says the so-called "banana note" went to a buyer at the sale in Orlando, Fla.
The person didn't want to be identified.
An official with Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers says the bill has a bright red, green and yellow Del Monte sticker next to Andrew Jackson's portrait.
The bill originated at a Treasury Department printing facility in Fort Worth, but just how the fruit tag found its way onto the greenback is unknown.
Currency collector Daniel Wishnatsky of Phoenix paid $10,100 for the bill during a May 2003 e-Bay auction.
