Check Your Wallet For Rare One Dollar Bills Worth Six Figures

How would you like to make $150,000 simply because you checked your wallet or the pockets of your coats?

I mean, do I even have to ask if you're going to start checking? It's just going to take a minute each time we have our hands on a $1 bill. If you don't normally carry cash, maybe it's time to start getting some when you're at the grocery store.

I always have a $20 bill in my wallet, but maybe I should break it for all $1 bills.

According to the Wealthy Nickel website, collectors of all things currency in the United States will pay around $150,000 for these rare dollar bills with a printing error. It happened in 2014 and 2016.

Anyone could be walking around with six figures in their wallet. Or maybe this rare $1 bill is in your car's console or that change drawer where you toss money.

The misprint was caught by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing; however, according to the Entrepreneur website, a few of those dollar bills were overlooked and are in circulation today.

So, what makes them stand out? According to Boston 25 News, 6.4 million pairs of $1 bills were accidentally printed with matching serial numbers; however, only 37 complete pairs have been found.

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.

Here's how you identify if you have one of those bills worth up to $150,000.

• 'Series 2013' Must Be on the Bill Next To George Washington
• The Bill Must Have a 'B' Federal Reserve Seal Above the serial Number
• The Serial Number Must End With a Star Symbol and Fall Between B00000001* – B00250000* or B03200001*-B09600000*
