The RAM wouldn't want to buy them. They don't have anything to do with banknote production, and don't have any budget to troll ebay looking for things to buy, either, and certainly couldn't afford anything like this. Most of the weird stuff in the RAM collection is stuff that they made themselves, for free.
Museums might want examples of these specimen notes, though any that were around back in 1966 probably already have them. Still, very few of those have a spare $110,000 to spend on new acquisitions, either.
As for speculating on future growth in value, it's impossible to predict; that's why it's called "speculation". Personally, if I had that kind of money available to spend on an investment, I wouldn't pick specimen notes, but that's just me.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
