How to Tell if a $100 Bill is REAL or FAKE

Can I get a $500 bill from the bank?

No, you generally cannot get a $500 bill from a bank because they were discontinued in 1969 due to lack of use and concerns about illegal activities, so banks are required to send any they receive to the Treasury for destruction, making them rare collector's items now worth much more than face value, not standard currency. While still legal tender, you'd have to buy one from a rare currency dealer or auction, says JM Bullion.

Which $1 bill is worth $150,000?

A pair of $1 bills printed with a specific duplication error between 2014 and 2016 can be worth up to $150,000 to collectors, not a single bill, as you need to find two bills with identical serial numbers from a batch of 6.4 million misprinted notes. Look for a "Series 2013" date, a "B" Federal Reserve Seal, a star at the end of the serial number, and specific serial number ranges (B00000001*-B00250000* or B03200001*-B09600000*) to identify potential candidates for these rare matching pairs.
