1934 $20 Bill Could Be Worth Much More

A manager at a North Dakota UPS store thought she had a counterfeit when a customer presented an odd looking $20 bill.

The crisp, new looking bill was printed in 1934. The customer was unsure where she got it. A little detective work indicated similar bills fetch up to $134 on eBay.

The UPS manager bought the bill for her father who collects coins.
