A series of new British banknotes featuring King Charles’ portrait recently sold for $1,172,070 at an auction after the notes entered circulation in June, according to The Telegraph. Collectors are reportedly looking for banknotes with very low serial numbers. For example, a single 1o pound note with the serial number HB01 00002 sold for $21,796 at the Spink & Son auction. The closer to the sought after 00001 serial number, the more expensive, according to The Telegraph. Another sheet of 50 pound notes sold for $33,336 at the same Spink auction. “I am thrilled that the auctions and public ballot of low numbered King Charles III banknotes have raised a remarkable £914,127 that will be donated to ten charities chosen by Bank of England staff,” Sarah John, Chief Cashier and Executive Director of Banking said in a statement. “Each charity does incredible work and the monies raised will have a positive impact on people and their communities across the UK,” she added.Read it at Fundraising UKRead more at The Daily Beast.

Brother fought against brother over several reasons, although primarily over the controversy of slavery in the United States.
