if your wallet is in your back pocket
[1]
you could be sitting on a fortune and
[4]
not even know it countries all over the
[6]
world like to print notes or cast coins
[9]
that are in very small amounts or they
[11]
make little mistakes during the printing
[13]
or molding process that lead to your
[15]
notes and coins being slightly different
[17]
from usual guess what these notes and
[20]
coins are collectible if you have them
[22]
in your wallet there's someone who'll
[23]
pay you for them and not just pocket
[25]
change here's our list of 10 ways you
[27]
can spot rare valuable money in your
[30]
wallet number 10 mistakes on American
[37]
coins around 13 billion coins are minted
[40]
in the US every year but it's difficult
[42]
process and sometimes mistakes are made
[45]
if you can find a coin with a mistake on
[47]
it that's where the rarity is and that's
[49]
where the money is here's a nickel from
[50]
2005 with a bison engraved on it an
[54]
error by the minting machine led to 900
[56]
of them looking like the Bison had a
[58]
spear stuck in its stomach these change
[60]
hands for about 1,250 dollars today also
[64]
if you've got one of these 2004
[66]
Wisconsin quarters with four leaves on
[68]
the corn husk instead of three you've
[70]
actually got three hundred dollars
[72]
rather than 25 cents here's another one
[74]
a 2005 Kansas quarter where they
[77]
accidentally engraved in God we rust
[79]
rather than trust then on this dollar
[81]
coin from 2005 they forgot to write in
[84]
god we trust' on it altogether these
[86]
coins sell for over $100 each look out
[89]
for this one also a printing error
[91]
making this penny from 1999 led to a
[94]
wider gap between the a and the M in
[96]
America these coins are worth 500 bucks
[99]
now my advice is to keep your eyes
[101]
peeled you never know what you may find
[103]
number 9 the new British fiver in
[106]
October 2016 the Bank of England caused
[109]
the nationwide craze by launching a new
[111]
five-pound note into circulation
[114]
these fibers as us Brits call them are
[116]
smaller than before and made of a
[118]
polymer that's hard wearing and hard to
[121]
forge collectors scrambled to find the
[123]
ones with the low serial numbers
[125]
the first batch have the prefix a a 0 1
[128]
so if you find one of those it's
[129]
definitely worth more than 5 pounds
[131]
another one with the serial number
[133]
a a:0 one followed by six fours sold on
[136]
eBay
[137]
for over sixty thousand elsewhere a
[140]
fiber with the serial number a a zero
[143]
one zero zero zero zero one seven sold
[146]
to a collector for over four thousand
[148]
pounds also James Bond fans are paying
[150]
over five thousand pounds on eBay for
[152]
notes with double-oh-seven at the end of
[154]
the serial number even rifle fans are
[156]
shelling out for ak-47 notes if you're
[159]
wondering where number a a zero one zero
[162]
zero zero zero zero one is I'm afraid it
[166]
was given to the Queen oh and another
[168]
interesting thing to look out for with
[169]
the polymer five-pound note is a small
[171]
barely visible engraving of Jane Austen
[174]
for rare limited-edition Jane Austen
[176]
notes were released which are estimated
[179]
to be worth around fifty thousand pounds
[181]
each the tiny portraits were designed by
[183]
micro engraver Graham short and as I'm
[186]
making this video
[187]
one such note is still out there waiting
[189]
to be found
[190]
number 8 mistakes on British coins sure
[194]
the Americans have made a few mistakes
[195]
when minting their coins but the Brits
[197]
are no better take this 50 pence coin
[199]
commemorating the London Olympics in
[201]
2012 designers tweak the original design
[204]
to make the swimmer a bit more visible
[206]
but not before 600 of the original coins
[209]
were released into the system
[210]
the invisible swimmer coins fetch around
[212]
3000 pounds today also in 2008 the mint
[216]
is forgot to put the date on this 20
[218]
pence coin these dates liske wines sell
[220]
for around 200 pounds today but it's not
[223]
just simple design errors that are
[224]
valuable as back in 1971 they even
[227]
managed to mint coins on the wrong metal
[229]
british 2ps are usually copper but a
[232]
machine error saw the two pence design
[234]
engraved on the nickel usually used for
[236]
10 pence pieces if you find one of these
[239]
silver two Peas you'll end up with over
[242]
1300 pounds in your pocket that's over
[244]
65 thousand times the value of the coin
[247]
face itself number 7 special edition
[250]
british coins when us Brits can actually
[253]
mint our coins properly we produce coins
[255]
to commemorate special events and
[257]
anniversaries usually there are only a
[259]
relatively low quantity of these coins
[260]
which makes them sought-after by
[262]
collectors and valuable if you come
[264]
across them this is a 2011 50 pence
[267]
coin celebrating the 250th anniversary
[269]
of Q Botanical Gardens in London two
[272]
hundred and ten thousand of these coins
[274]
were made compared to the seven million
[275]
that were produced for special 50p coins
[277]
according to this graph a Kew Gardens 50
[280]
pence is actually worth fifty pounds
[282]
today or how about this here's a two
[285]
pound coin designed to celebrate the
[287]
life of Charles Dickens it's got all the
[289]
titles of his books written on it in
[291]
really really tiny writing if you've got
[293]
one of these you'll have great
[294]
expectations of selling it for 20 pounds
[296]
alternatively this is a 2 pound coin
[299]
celebrating the 400th anniversary of Guy
[301]
Fawkes is attempts to blow up the houses
[303]
of parliament in 1605 back when we
[306]
celebrated that sort thing the value of
[308]
this coin has exploded to around 16
[310]
pounds today number 6 special edition
[314]
euro coins if you're in the eurozone you
[317]
can get in on the fun too
[318]
the currency may not have been around
[320]
for hundreds of years but there are rare
[322]
special edition euro coins which can
[324]
fetch a good amount even though they're
[326]
not official countries of the EU Vatican
[328]
City and Monaco have both released
[330]
commemorative euro coins the one from
[332]
the Vatican City celebrates the Catholic
[334]
Church's 2005 International Youth Day
[336]
and is now worth about a hundred euros
[339]
alternatively the Monaco coin features a
[342]
picture of Princess Grace who used to be
[344]
the film actress Grace Kelly if you find
[346]
one of them you could swap it for around
[347]
300 euros then there's this rather funky
[351]
looking 5 euro coin from Germany known
[353]
as the blue planet coin because of the
[355]
blue ring and transparent appearance if
[357]
you're lucky enough to find one of these
[359]
they're worth around 35 euros now I'd
[362]
keep it and look at it number 5 the 1943
[366]
copper penny most of the valuable
[368]
American coins are the mistake ridden
[370]
ones I showed you earlier however there
[372]
is one special coin that is probably the
[374]
most sought-after in America everyone
[376]
knows penny coins are made from copper
[378]
right well during World War two all the
[381]
copper in America was needed for the war
[383]
effort
[383]
so in 1943 when they needed new pennies
[386]
they made them out of steel that is
[389]
except for about 40 pennies which they
[391]
still made from copper these copper
[393]
pennies with Abraham Lincoln on the face
[395]
are now worth between 10,000 and 1
[398]
million dollars depending on
[400]
condition these coins still turn up in
[402]
general circulation from time to time so
[404]
keep your eyes peeled for the 1943
[407]
copper penny number for mistakes on US
[410]
banknotes something you may not know
[413]
about American banknotes is that it
[415]
takes three passes with the printer to
[417]
finish them and they're printed in
[418]
sheets of 36 that means if the printers
[421]
aren't working properly it can lead to
[423]
some pretty interesting mistakes of
[425]
course these mistakes are worth money if
[428]
you ever find a banknote that doesn't
[429]
look quite right well it could be your
[432]
lucky day check this dollar bill where
[434]
the paper was accidentally folded before
[436]
the third printing that's worth about
[438]
$500 today or this one where the
[441]
printers got misaligned so you get half
[443]
of one bill and half of the next one
[445]
that's worth about 600 bucks that's a
[448]
loss of dollar number three rare US
[451]
banknotes the most valuable banknotes in
[454]
the u.s. are the 1890 grand watermelon
[457]
1000 dollar bill which sold at auction
[460]
for 3.2 million dollars in 2014 the
[463]
second most valuable is the Red Seal
[465]
$1,000 bill from 1891 which fetched two
[469]
point five million dollars in 2013
[471]
then there are dollar bills with red
[473]
seals they used to be relatively common
[475]
though and were only phased out in the
[477]
mid 90s you probably don't have any of
[479]
those sitting in your wallet right now
[480]
but why not ask your parents or
[482]
grandparents what they've got lying
[483]
around one valuable note you may have on
[486]
you right now is the haunted note if
[488]
you've got a dollar bill with the number
[490]
six six six hidden in its serial number
[493]
then some devil may give you twenty
[495]
bucks for it on eBay
[496]
number two trial coins and the Nelson
[499]
Mandella coin wherever you are in the
[501]
world there are examples of rare notes
[503]
or coins getting into the general flow
[505]
of money if you find some money that
[507]
looks unusual it's always worth checking
[509]
out what it is in South Africa every
[511]
time there's a special event the
[512]
government likes to mint a special coin
[514]
this is a five-round coin commemorating
[516]
Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday back in
[518]
2008 depending on quality some of these
[521]
coins change hands for up to $1,000
[524]
today the amazing thing is this coin
[526]
isn't even super rare five million of
[529]
them were printed people just love
[531]
Mandela so much they kept their coins as
[533]
a souvenir
[533]
taking them out of circulation and
[535]
driving up their value to collectors and
[537]
back to the UK where a one pound coin
[540]
which isn't even legal tender is worth
[543]
over 100 times more than its legitimate
[545]
count pot you see in preparation for
[548]
launching the new 12-sided one pound
[550]
coin which contains features making it
[552]
much more difficult to counterfeit
[553]
around two hundred thousand trial one
[556]

[595]
winner a $100 bill with the serial

groups of the same number a five dollar
[608]
bill with eight 3s on it is up for sale
[610]
for around thirteen thousand dollars
[612]
also a dollar with the number nine

distinctive numbers one of the most

sought after serial numbers is known as
[632]
the pi note 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 7
