Not Specie, But Odd Paper Currency Question

[ajaj]

I understand that this is not a hard coin question, but I can across these two sequentially numbered ones and the end serial numbers are out of alignment. Any input into collectibility or where one can find reliable answers? Thnk you.

These are colloquially known as "gas pump errors".

Cause: These are generally caused by errors during the third printing pass (serial numbers and seal) or a misaligned overprint.

Types: This can include a single "stuck" digit (one digit is higher or lower than others), multiple misaligned digits, or the entire serial number string being shifted.

Value Factors:
Minor "Gas Pump" Errors: These are common in high-speed printing and often carry little to no premium over face value.

Major Misalignments: If the number is significantly misplaced, touches other elements, or shows parts of another bill, it is a collectible error, potentially worth hundreds.

I agree with Red-Coat, there is nothing collectible about them, but you have a good eye to spot the misaligned numbers. I'd just spend them.
