Featured Info on rare euro notes

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are specific euro notes that are very rare and worth finding ?I mean 5 , 10, 20 ,100 euro notes that are rare to find .
Coincidentally a rare 5 pound nots was discovered recently that is worth 50 thousand pound.check the link below

That note is worth something because a known artist painted a picture on it. Are there any well-known European artists hand decorating euros?

 

Art experts are estimating the four fivers could be worth up to £50,000 after collectors forked out thousands to buy notes with unusual serial numbers.

I'd say there would be no cross-over whatsoever, since the engraved notes would be considered as just 'damaged' by the sort of collector who would buy a normal note with some unusual (but original) feature.

The Daily Mail is a British newspaper that has a reputation for, if not actually making stuff up, then taking a trivial happening and blowing it up out of all proportion. Their readership incudes large numbers of people to whom the words 'experts say' is as good as saying 'it is true'. Daily Mail news stories stop just short of 'Elvis found on the Moon'.

The story says that the four notes could be worth up to (great weasel words) £50,000, which I read as for all 4, but the OP read as 'each'.

As for Euro notes, well, who knows? In a recent mixed lot of common banknotes in a local auction there was a badly damaged but in my opinion cashable 500 Euro note. Unless there was ever a 500 issued with no built in metal thread, it was a forgery and I examined it carefully and decided it was as bent as a nine bob note. Nevertheless, the auction lot sold for several hundred pounds, so either I was wrong or two or more people were fooled. I have not heard of any special interest in Euro notes - I'd put a crisp uncirculated 5 or 10 in my collection since they are a significant event in European banknotes, but for the cost of multiple minor variations or higher denominations, I'd buy much more interesting older, pre-Euro notes for that value.

 

Defacing money in the name of art - or Spock, as the case may be - is rather common lately. Canadian $5 were the most popular. Spock with one Severas Snape

 

And it happens on American money, too

 

Maybe it's better to speak about Pounds is the English do not have the Euro as currency in use
