Is this a keeper?

First thing I'd do is take it to a bank and ask a teller to confirm
it as a legitimate bill.

Honestly, I'm concerned that it's counterfeit, as the end and side cuts on
the paper look all wrong.

I'm wondering if it's an error note..looks shifted to the right a bit. I'd take it somewhere to have it looked at, to see if it's an error and a genuine note, as someone above commented. If it's genuine and you can afford to keep it, it's a great score! Thanks for sharing!

If the bank determines it is counterfeit I thought they are required to take it. ??

I was in a used bookstore yesterday and the fellow next to me opened a book and found a $100 bill in it. Presumably, it was used for a bookmark and forgotten. The honest fellow showed the shop owner and offered it to him. The shop owner told him "finders keepers". They discussed why the other party was entitled to it for a few fascinating minutes and finally the shop owner took it, and gave the finder $50.

I know that's off-topic, but it was wonderful to witness.
