These are the $ 1 bills that were issued by mistake and sell for up to $ 150,000

The United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing, an agency under the Treasury Department that designs and prints banknotes for the Federal Reserve, made a singular mistake in 2014 and 2016, which now has collectors searching for thousands of banknotes. .

This government office mistakenly printed two identical runs of 6.4 million dollar bills. In other words, there are 6.4 million pairs of banknotes with matching serial numbers around the world, and to date only nine pairs have been matched.

Depending on their condition and serial number, matched pairs can be priced at between $ 20 and $ 150,000, a situation that has collectors on their toes. Even some enthusiasts for the case launched the Zegers / Winograd project, to try to locate the twins.

Zegers / Winograd aims to connect people with matching invoices and facilitate a purchase, sale or exchange to put both bills in the hands of one owner.
