$100 bill sold for $2.1 million

The Associated Press

DALLAS -- Two 19th Century pieces of U.S. currency, including a $100 note issued during the Civil War, have sold for $2.1 million each.

An anonymous buyer, described only as being from the East Coast, purchased the bills last week from the collection of Edward and Joanne Dauer of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The sale fetched a record amount for paper money, according to Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, which brokered the deal.

The $100 note is a 1863-series gold certificate signed Dec. 13, 1866. The note was part of a series of currency the Union issued to help finance the Civil War, Heritage spokesman Jim Fitzgerald said.

The other bill was an 1891 treasury note for $1,000.
