    I've been searching about a thousand bills a week for odd serial numbers with some luck finding radars and repeaters. However, I got this bill in my change from a local grocery store:

    Book value is $450 and it sold it for $500 to a local collector!

    Neat find!

    How many times did you check those serial numbers to convince yourself they were really different? :)

    So the whole Christmas thing and family being together. My dad randomly mentions something he saw on the news about mismatched $20 bills. He explains what to look at and I take out my wallet.

    This is what I found. I have found some other posts saying that single digit mismatched go for about $450 in mint. My bill is in very good condition...and has 3 digits mismatched. Anyone know where I could find the worth of this bill?

    Here is a picture of the mismatched bill along with a normal one.

    Merry Christmas and nice find!

    According to the Charlton catalog "Canadian Government Paper Money",
    an uncirculated $20 bill with 3 or more mismatched digits in the serial number is priced at $650. As with any type of collectible, it's a matter of finding a buyer for it.

    I'll pm you with some info.
