A total of 6.4 million one-dollar bills are being sought that were issued in duplicate due to a mistake that occurred in 2014. Learn about the bills that collectors offer fortunes for.
A total of 6.4 million one-dollar bills are sought were issued in duplicate in 2014 in the United States and there are several collectors willing to pay up to 150 thousand dollars to get one of the copies. As it happens, also, with the 1 dollar bills that are sold for $300,000.
How are the 1 dollar bills that are sold for USD 150 thousand
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is the state agency responsible for printing US dollars, mistakenly issued two identical runs of 6.4 million one-dollar bills in 2014. That year, the first printing was distributed in the state of New York. Two years later, another exactly the same arrived in Washington.
Due to this situation 6.4 million “pairs” of $1 bills with the same serial numbering are scattered around the world. Only 9 such pairs have been found so far, and some collectors are offering a fortune to buy them.
The characteristics of the 1 dollar bills that have an error
They are those issued by the New York Federal Reserve, in its series corresponding to 2013. Your identification must be between serial numbers B00000001 and B00250000, or between serial numbers B03200001 and B09600000. Also, the note must contain a Federal Reserve stamp with the letter “B”. And the serial number must end with the image of a star.
