Highly Collectible $100 Bills to Consider
Compare it with another bill.
Accordingly, the best way to check its authenticity is to compare it to another $100. You might have to go to a bank to check if the bill is authentic. You can also visit the U.S. Currency website and find images of older $100 bills.
Now, you're probably wondering how to find out if you're in possession of a rare, $1 bill worth up to $150,000. First, look for “Series 13″ which must be on the bill next to George Washington. The bill must also have a “B” Federal Reserve seal above the serial number.
Unusual Seals: Most $1 bills have green seals, but red, blue, brown, or yellow ones can indicate older or military issues. Rare Serial Numbers: Fancy numbers like low serials (00000001), repeating digits, or palindromes are highly prized.
“A serial number '1′ for a 1976 $2 bill would be worth $20,000 or more,” Dustin Johnston, vice president of Heritage Auctions, told MarketWatch. Other high-value serial numbers include so-called “ladder” or “solid” numbers. Solid serial numbers are codes that have the same digit, such as 88888888888.
Low Serial Numbers - Serial numbers between 00000001 and 00000009 are sought after. These are usually the first few notes printed in a series and, therefore, are scarce and collectible. High Serial Numbers - Notes whose serial numbers are near 99999999 are also of equal value.
Hold the note to light to see the security thread that reads USA 100 to the left of Benjamin Franklin's portrait. The thread is visible from the front and back of the note and glows pink under ultraviolet light.
This 1990 series $100 bill is a rare find for collectors, with a misprint that makes it even more unique. The United States currency features an error in the printing process, making it a valuable addition to any collection. The bill has circulated and has been handled, adding to its character and history.
For $100 bills, you may be used to checking with a marking pen. In addition, a way to verify a legitimate bill is to double check the 100 in the corner of the bill. The color change of copper/green to black on the 100 in the lower right corner will help you verify an authentic $100 bill.
"The inflation rate in the United States between 1988 and today has been 125.8%, which translates into a total increase of $125.8. This means that 100 dollars in 1988 are equivalent to 225.8 dollars in 2021. In other words, the purchasing power of $100 in 1988 equals $225.8 today."

How to find product Serial Number and Check Number
Low numbers: Notes with serial numbers starting with low numbers, like 000001 or 111111, are considered fancy. Matching digits: Notes where the prefix (letters before the number) and the serial number digits have some connection, like "AB 121212" are interesting to collectors.
It's a common misconception that $2 bills are particularly rare or valuable. This has led many people to hoard them and, as a result, there are large numbers of $2 bills in good condition that aren't being circulated. However, the vast majority of $2 bills are worth exactly that: two dollars.
The 1976 $2 bill was released to celebrate the U.S. bicentennial, and while most of them are only worth face value, some with special serial numbers, misprints, stamps or star notes can be worth $20 to $900.
Even certain modern bills are selling for shocking prices–a 2003 $2 bill sold online for $2,400, then resold just two weeks later for $4,000, according to Heritage Auctions.
