Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
if it is real, (and it's unlikley that it is), then it is quite valuable, as it would be a misprint, but as the US Mint has many procedures to ensure that misprints never get into circulation!. If it is real then it would be of great intrest to a collector and the value would depend on the condition!. if not it is worthless!. It would be a good idea to get it appraised by several collectors to be sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As rare as the novelty shop that printed it!.
The paper used for making our dollars is about 79% cotton fiber and the rest is paper!. When it rolls off of the presses it is actually more like crisp linen!

There are other fine grades of paper made similar to this process, they just have slightly different percentages of the above in the mix!. Roll this thru the press or copier and you have the "flea market bill" in which you speak of!.

Many 2 sided quarters were sold thru comic books for decades!. Same sorta thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If a sheet fails to enter the printing press, the inked plates will transfer their image to the impression cylinder!. The next 6 or 7 sheets will receive the impression from the cylinder while the other side of the note is being printed!. The result is an offset printing in reverse on the already printed side!. Approximate value range: $200 - $300!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it is genuine, it's extremely rare!. Dollars like that are usually destroyed at the mint!.

Chances are it is counterfeit and falls in the "prank" category!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Rare, counterfeiters are rarely THAT stupid!.

On further investigation, if it's a genuine misprint with little wear while not wholly uncommon it can be worth quite a bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

um I'm not to certain, but evidently you've found a poorly counterfeited bill, so i guess the chances of getting one would be pretty slim, unless you knew a retarded counter fitterWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'll say very rare too, just so that joke doesn't get best answer
