Remember the 3 Spanish sisters known as the "Las Ketchup" with their very catchy number the Ketchup song in 2002? Teenagers loved it and in Malaysia it created a mini-storm upseting many local "virgin ears" with it's chrous.
This Del Monte endorsed product (better known here for it's tomato ketchup) increased the face value of this US$20 bill to US$25,300.
I am no economist but is this a harbinger of things to come where activities in a banana republic is able to impact the value of the mighty US dollar?

DALLAS (AP) -- An auction company says a 20-dollar bill mysteriously printed on top of an ordinary fruit sticker sold today for 25-thousand-300 dollars.
The flawed note bears a red, green and yellow Del Monte sticker next to Andrew Jackson's portrait.
Dustin Johnston, director of auctions for Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers of Dallas says the buyer at the auction in Orlando does not want to be identified.
The 1996 bill originated at a U-S Treasury Department printing facility in Fort Worth, but how the fruit tag found its way onto the paper of the greenback is unknown.
A currency firm in Newport Beach, California authenticated that the error was genuine and not faked outside the printing plant.
