Why are some €5 notes worth a small fortune?

Not all banknotes are the same. While most banknotes are only worth their face value, some become true collector’s items. This phenomenon can be explained by three main criteria:

• Rarity  : The harder a banknote is to find, the more attractive it is to collectors.
• Printing errors  : A discrepancy, such as a different ink color or blurred printing, can cause a ticket to become a wanted item.
• Special Serial Numbers  : Certain series of numbers are particularly  sought after .
