Your bill could be worth $3.3million the horse blanket variety to look for
AN older larger-sized bill could sell for millions of dollars.
The United States previously made so-called "horse blanket" banknotes, as pointed out by currency and coin collector known as treasuretown in a recent TikTok post.
The term can be defined as larger-sized bills that were made during the 1800s and early 1900s.
“The U.S. printed dollar bills that were almost double the size of normal bills that we use today,” treasuretown said.
But he added that there is one variety of a horse blanket banknote that could be “incredibly rare.”
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
It’s important to note that all currency made before 1928 was made in a larger size.

To find the rare bill you’ll want to look for paper currency with a $1,000 denomination that features former union general George Meade.
The exact year to find in this case is “1890,” which can be found near the top right corner of the banknote.
If you find it, it can be worth a ton of money.
The highest one on record sold for a total of $3.29million in a January 2014 Heritage Auction.

It was certified by Professional Coin Grading Service in an Extremely Fine (EF) 40 grade.
Another example certified in an EF 45 grade 2013 Heritage Auction went for $1.53million.
For context, circulated examples are given a 58 number or lower depending on their condition.
And the highest numeric grade a bill can be given in general is 70.
OTHER VALUABLE BILLS
But if you don’t happen to own a $1,000 bill at home, your smaller denominations could be valuable, too.
In particular, some could be worth a ton of money due to printing errors.
This includes a $5 bill with a Del Monte banana sticker, which sold for a whopping $396,000 in an auction.
And banknotes with certain serial numbers are also valuable.
For example, a $20 bill with mismatched suffixes in the serial numbers sold for $2,000.
On the top left, the number ends with a "D "while the one on the bottom right ends with an "F."
Letters are the same on non-error bills.
A $1 bill with a Star Note in one of the serial numbers but not the other sold for nearly $30,000.
And a crumpled $5 bill with a "solid" serial number could be worth more than $2,000.
This is when every digit in the serial number is the same.
