One of only two surviving examples,this one million pound note was issued in connection with the Marshall Aidplan after World War II and was intended for internal use as ‘records ofmovements’, the notes were in use for only a period of six weeks. It is believedthat nine examples were produced, only two notes are believed extant, the otherseven being destroyed. The two surviving examples, numbers seven and eightwere given as mementos to the respective U.S and U.K Treasury Secretaries.In the U.K’s case this was E.E. Bridges. Number seven was first sold in 1977and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as being the highestdenomination note in private hands. A magical denomination.
