This undated photo released by the Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas shows the face and back of a $1000 bill that is one of only two known of its kind. An art collector has paid about $2.3 million for the U.S. bill printed in 1890, according to the auction house that brokered the transaction between two anonymous private collectors.
