A rare Bank of England note has been put up for auction at a price 5,000 times greater than its face value. The 133-year-old five pound note, dating from May 5, 1892, is now being offered for an eye-watering £25,000. It's thought to originate from a Birmingham branch that opened in 1827 and moved locations multiple times before shutting down in 1997. This sum far exceeds the Bank of England's own inflation calculator, which suggests the piece of currency would be valued at £550 in today's money.
