RARE money can be worth much more than face value.
An influencer shared an account that could be worth more than $30,000.
Eric Miller (@thecoinchannel) is a TikToker who typically focuses on rare coins.
But he recently shared a bill that could be worth a lot of money.
Thanks to a “double denomination” error, it could sell for as much as $55,200.
He also showed one in “worse condition,” which sold for $32,900.

THE MISTAKE
Miller displayed two bills with different numbers on each side.
The $55,200 and $32,900 bills were marked as $20 bills on one side.
But when flipped over, the design of a 10 dollar bill was on the other side.
This is an uncommon printing error that exists on older invoices.
Miller said they were becoming “increasingly difficult to find.”
He also called the mistakes “huge mistakes.”

Beads vary in price due to differences in their quality.
Once evaluated by professionals, they can be sold for a lot of money to collectors.
What is a data break or error on a coin?
What causes these defects in coins and why are they so rare to find?
A die break, also known as a ruminant, is an error in a coin that forms when a die (a metal piece used to strike a coin) is missing a piece near the edge.
When the dies hit the coins, they undergo strong impact and pressure and the metal from the blank part of the coin, known as the planchet, overlaps the area left by the missing piece of the die.
Coins with such deformities are rare thanks to the U.S. Mint’s strict quality control measures.
When such errors occur, they are often detected and destroyed.
However, those that slip through the net become huge collectors’ items that are worth far more than their face value.

MORE MONEY
Miller shared many other rare notes and coins.
A banknote is valuable thanks to an unusual serial number.
It is called “ascending ladder” and adds thousands of values to the account.
One of these $20 bills can cost more than $7,000.
An exact detail on a Lincoln cent can be worth $10,000.
Miller showed off another detail that could fetch $29,000.
Another penny is valuable because of a “sharp” detail.
