In October 2026, Noonans sold a Bank of Scotland £100 note at auction for £1,100. The note dated from 1962; £1,100 was its sale price, not its face value. That distinction can disappear in short retellings: a collectible banknote may sell for more than the amount printed on it. The auction catalogue described the note as extremely fine and estimated it at £600–£800 before the sale.
