A SIMPLE error on your $10 bill could make you thousands of dollars, but you need to know what to spot.
Thanks to an error made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a $10 keeps selling for tens of thousands of dollars, according to Eric Miller.
Eric (@thecoinchannel) is a collector, expert, and TikToker with millions of followers.
He typically posts videos about all kinds of coins and the exact details of what makes them rare or valuable.
In a recent TikTok, Eric revealed why a seemingly small error made such a high profit.
“This is something everyone needs to know about,” Eric said.
The mistakes were made on older $5 and $20 bills where the front and back sides of the bills don’t match.
This is called a double denomination error.
For example, there was a $20 bill that looked normal from the front but when turned over, the $20 mark was replaced with $10.
This double denomination error bill sold for $55,200 at auction.
Whenever you come across any of these older-looking bills turn them over and make sure the reverse is the correct denomination.
