Check Your Wallet – These $1 Bills Are Worth Up to $150,000

MONEY

Coin and currency collectors in the US are willing to pay up to $150,000 in search of rare $1 bills with a particular printing error from the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Two batches of $1 bills were printed, one in 2014 and another in 2016, that feature this particular error, and the bills went into circulation before the mistake was found.

In November 2014, the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing sent a request to its Washington DC facility to print a batch of dollar bills.

Over 6 Million Misprinted $1 Bills in Circulation

This miscommunication resulted in dollars printed with duplicate serial numbers, technically counterfeiting their currency. Typically, every bill in circulation has a unique serial number to identify it.

How Was The Error Discovered?

According to a video by Silverpicker, the error went unnoticed until a banknote collector found an anomaly in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s public documents. While the Bureau was not forthcoming on its mistake, the collector filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get more details.

The government admitted the error and the existence of the 6.4 million pairs of bills with matching serial numbers.

If you are lucky enough to stumble across one of these $1 bills in your wallet, you are one step closer to cashing in. But the value of this particular misprint is in pairing it to the other bill with a matching serial number.

What To Do If You’re the Lucky Owner of One of the Misprinted Bill

Currency misprints of this magnitude are extremely rare, but the unique nature of the duplicated serial numbers makes these bills worth a small fortune to collectors. If you haven’t already, it’s time to check your wallet and see if you can turn $1 into $150,000 or more.
