(+) Yeah! (+)

the famed "super radar"

2013 fifty dollar bill

45555551

so close to finding a bill worth 2-3x its face value. damn. however i did break a record with 6 of a kind in a row

i'll give you a dollar for it

Best I can do is tree fiddy

One time I got a Buffalo nickel as change.

Buffalo nickels are cool. They dont have much value unless its in awesome condition, but check for key dates(rare years) because you might have one worth a premium even in poor condition by virtue of being a low mint year/mintmark

why is it worth more than it's face value?

People collect bills with fancy serial numbers.

this one was almost a super radar. A radar is a bill that reads like palindrome. An example i have found is 69699696. This was close to being a super radar, which would be a bill like 45555554, where it reads like a palindrome but is the most extreme.

Somebody commented on my video I recorded of this bill saying they would give me 65.

My first instinct is this is bullshit, but it doesnt sound like a bot, even though the comment was from a person with a real name, all it said was "i would give you 65"

It might not be a legitimate offer who knows, but I can't see it being a bot. It would have to know the exact meaning of the video to write that comment. If it was a bot it would probably just say something like "wow great video...want to chat with singles online? url.shorten.website "

How would I even set up a deal like this without using ebay or something.

Cause like I'd sell this for 65...but I dunno how to get my money. I wont cheat the guy but I'd be hesitant because who knows if i'll send it out. Granted I have a YT rep to protect(in a way, i have maybe 500 views in all my currency/coin videos combined), and he could just shittalk me in youtube making me essential a joke, but i dunno. Seems kinda weird to just make an offer like that. this also happened within 2 hours of me uploading the video, too. I dont think this guy is subscirbed to me, either so weird he'd pick up on a video from a relative nobody that quick

any advice folks? my plan is to sell this stuff on ebay but idk about one on one sales here.

Two ways that's probably best.

-Meet face to face if possible
-Have him pay you upfront via paypal, once payment is confirmed you send it to him via any recorded means. (It's what I do when I'm selling anything small on Gumtree)

is that $15 profit, or $65? $15 is not even worth the trouble. $65 sort of is, but only barely.

Huh... I work at a bank and I've seen some interesting bills, but I don't know the etiquette for swapping those bills out with my own, and I haven't, and probably won't, ask.

He would pay $65 for it, meaning I would make a profit of $15, since I "paid" 50 for the bill.

I would find out. Since you deal with as much if not more money than I do you could find some ultra rare or interesting stuff.

So here is a list of bills that are definitely worth more than face value. I have 957 dollars hoarded away with fancy and near fancy serial numbers, but most wouldnt net me too much over face. Here are some examples of the shit definitely, no questions asked worth more than face value. Keep in mind the bill serials go up to 99 million, so your odds are definitely slim, however if you work with money, checking bill serials is free. even checking your change is free. It costs nothing, and you still have the same amt. of money you already had. Which is why I can hoard 957 dollars and not be worried at all, because outside of the odd candy bar purchase to get cash back at work, I've spent close to 957 dollars to get it all.
