Coin expert Eric Miller unveiled a fascinating story about a man who discovered 3 1-dollar bills. They were found inside the walls while he was renovating his house.
This event made it much more special and the founder wanted to know if they were worth a lot of money or not. 2 of them were not interesting for the numismatics lovers and coin collectors.
The expert checked the dollar bills
Once the expert had a close look at the three 1-dollar bills, he realized that one of them was worth a lot more than the others. It reached a value of $355, which must have been a delightful surprise for the owner.
Believe it or not, its value has increased so much due to a “rainbow design”. The homeowner thought that one of the dollar bills looked much older and hoped it was worth a lot more.
Finding paper money in a home repair is something unlikely, but it happens from time to time. No doubt it is a great reward after working hard renovating the house.
How much money were the other 2 bills worth?
Even if they were not worth much, it is still extra money. One of the two was a silver certificate, which can be sold for 5 dollars nowadays.
If it were in a better condition it could be worth a lot more. For example, an uncirculated certificate without any physical damage can be up to $20.
Eric Miller said on his TikTok video (https://www.tiktok.com/@thecoinchannel?lang=es) that the best finding was “a piece of history”. It dates back to 1869. The “rainbow-colored” pattern is what this coin expert highlighted.
For your information, these bills are commonly known as “Rainbow Notes”. Perhaps you do not have one of these beautiful bills inside your walls, but you may have one kept which you might have inherited.
