Here is a very nice, and perhaps unique, sequence of 1937 $1 banknotes being offered in an upcoming auction.  All are AU/Unc grade.

Salivate at your leisure.

Wow! I recall a set of 1954 $20s with the same serial numbers. Any one of the three would be the centerpiece of most people's collections.

$15,000 for the solid 9999999
$20,000 for the 10 mil note
$22,500 for #0000001 according to the 26th Ed of CGPM

-no doubt: each of these is a "trophy" note.

I think this is the 1954 $20 set that you are referring to.

Manny, I would tell you but I don't want anybody bidding against me.  LOL

Oh alright.  They are in the upcoming February 26-27 & 29, 2016 Torex Auction Sale.   ;D

Don't worry, it's way out of my budget at the moment.

Lot #88
1937 $1 BC-21b #AM10000000 Ten Million issue . Excessively Rare and Original AU/UNC issue. This example as well as the prior and following lot should be considered consecutive issues and unique considering the serial numbers and should be purchased as a set. This particular lot is to be considered as UNIQUE.
Sold for: $34810
Estimate: $40000 - $45000
Start Price: $20000

Lot #89
1937 $1 BC-21b #BM0000001 Number #1 issue. Excessively Rare and Original AU/UNC issue. The only other example known is a low end VF and sold privately for $12,000. This example and the previous two lots should be considered consecutive issues and unique considering the serial numbers and should be purchased as a set.
