Numismatic fans desperately search for this piece to the point of raising its value exorbitantly.
A historical discipline of the branch of archeology is growing as a hobby among collectors today, numismatics. It involves the study of all types of pieces that have been used as a store of value or currency. Currentlytranslates into interest in strange bills or coins, whose edition has been limited, or have printing or minting errors that make them unique.
In this sense, There is a $5 bill for which collectors are willing to pay up to $2,000,000.Yes, 2 million. It is a copy with the image of Abraham Lincoln on the front that has all numismatists in stitches due to a very curious error in its serial number. I know which one.
5 Dollars
What is the ticket that would make you a millionaire if you had it?
The bill in question has a very particular error in its serial number. And this particularity is considered, in the world of numismatics, as an exceptional find. Normally, this number is identical on both parts of the paper, but in this case they are different, so a “mismatched serial numbers” situation arises.
The copy has the letters MH followed by the numbers 25891943 and the letter B on one side, while the series MH appears on the other side 25881943 B. This difference in numbers is what makes it a unique item.
What makes these bills so unique?
The good state of conservation of a banknote and the printing errors that make it unique or at least rare, are a combination that can increase its value up to 500 times. The particularities in these pieces that can distinguish them from the rest make them very valuable, because collectors look for elements that are different from the rest and at the same time are in an optimal state of physical conservation.
