Posted on 2/20/2024
Get ready for a trip around the world as more than 500 rare and collectible world banknotes certified by Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) are being offered in an upcoming Heritage Auctions sale. Bidding is already underway for the World Paper Money Signature Auction on March 7-8, 2024.
