he inherits a 5 dollar bill from his grandmother, strangers offer him $400,000

It's a mistake that could pay off big. This American inherited his collection grandmother. And among this, one billet of five dollars caught his attention. It actually turns out that this rarity is much more valuable than expected and according to some, its price could be in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Medals and billetophiles know it well. Currency sometimes has more value than the simple number written on its face. In France, experts from the La Bourse du Collectionneur website estimate that the note with the highest price is a denomination note. 5 000 francs issued by La Banque de France in 1846. It is easily recognizable since it was printed in red.

This young man inherited a totally “crazy” ticket

It's very simple, there is only one copy
since “all returned except one”. The selling price of this unique piece is estimated at 150,000 euros. Something to dream about. But it's well below what this American was offered for a ticket inherited from her grandmother. Named Tommy, he actually received the collection from the old lady when she died and among the lot, he made quite a find.

His girlfriend, Charlotte Carroll, took the opportunity to make a
video of this rarity that she shared on TikTok. “My boyfriend inherited this $5 bill from his grandmother. It's probably the bill the craziest
that I've ever seen.”she announced. And it must be said that the piece of paper is not common.

For his ticket, some fans offered him up to $400,000

In fact, hehas a significant printing error, with parts of the text overlapping.”as the magazine explained Newsweek. Before adding: “In the lower right part of the note, where the large number '5' is usually found, it appears to be printed twice and offset from the rest of the design. The printing error has created a duplicate or overlapping effect , where sections of the note's text and figures appear to be 'stacked' or shifted.”

This blunder at the time of manufacturing causes a
increase in valuebecause this type of error is sought after by collectors. But obviously, amateurs have difficulty agreeing on the estimation of this rarity. “We had people who offered us
between 5 and 400,000 dollars for this, and we refused everything.”Charlotte Carroll told Newsweek.

The couple decided to keep this priceless ticket

It is also to find out the price of such a ticket that she used social networks. “I decided to share my video on TikTok because I have a lot of members of the community silver collectors with whom I wanted to share it.”confided Tommy’s girlfriend.

“But I never thought the video would be so successful.”she added. It must be said that its publication created a buzz with more than 800,000 views. But the reality could be more disappointing than expected, according to an expert who explained that errors on tickets were more common than people might think. Information that will not change the mind of the young couple who decided to keep their “inestimable” find.
