About the Selbu money:
One day, in the mid-1950s, a music shop in Oslo received an order for a harmonica, with a 50 kroner note attached as payment. Since the harmonica cost only 3.85, the shopkeeper became suspicious and turned the money in to the police. The order had come from a 46-year old farm worker, in Selbu in central Norway; when the local police searched the man’s house, they found 352 hand-drawn Norwegian banknotes in denominations up to one billion kroner, and 12 foreign notes, including one million lire. All were destroyed by the National Bank, with the exception of seventeen examples now held in the collection of the Norwegian National Museum of Justice in Trondheim. The artist, whose name was not made public, was not charged with any crime, and an anonymous individual later sent him a harmonica as a gift.
