Rare Money	comment	The bill or coin in question is perfectly legitimate and not Counterfeit Cash. But for some reason or other, it's seldom seen. It can be rare for any (and any combination) of the following reasons: A rare, but real, denomination. (Example: a $2 bill in the United States, or the Japanese Â¥2,000 note. For some reason, they're rarely used.) An outdated design on the coin or bill. (Example: a previous monarch being shown on the currency.) A rare design on the coin or bill. (Example: commemorative coins or bills.) A coin that used to be a bill or vice versa. (Example: Canada used to have 25Â¢, $1, and $2 bills. All denominations are now coins.) A coin that's made from a precious metal, usually silver. (Example: 90% silver Pre-1964 United States dimes, quarters and half dollars, and 40% silver Pre-1970 United States half dollars, all of which occasionally circulate, but are almost immediately pulled out of circulation and hoarded by individuals for their metal content.) A foreign coin or bill. A discontinued coin or bill (whether it has any current value is beside the point, it once did). This includes coins and bills of discontinued currencies. (Example: $10,000 US bills, or many European currencies after the advent of the euro). An unusual serial number. (Examples: an extremely low one or one with a lot of the same digit.) This includes "star notes," where a special symbol in the serial number marks the bill as a replacement for a misprinted one. The inverse is Cheap Gold Coins, where a currency that should be rare is everywhere.

Rare Money / int_16fc4335	comment	In Oathbreakers, a Valdemar novel by Mercedes Lackey, Sunhawks who are infiltrating the city of Petras carry with them a coin called a Hawkspiece. It's worth little, but since it's virtually never seen out of the town of Hawksnest, it's useful as an identification piece in a city hundreds of miles away.

They get every one except the [fictional] 1917 "kissing Lincoln" misstrike, which they manage to scam Mr. Burns out of when he outbids them at a rare coin auction.

Rare Money / int_3e5de40b	comment	In two different episode of Scrubs, JD distracts the Janitor and Troy by asking him a riddle: "Two coins add up to 30Â¢, and one of them is not a nickel [5Â¢]. What are they?" (America does not have a 20Â¢ coin). Janitor and Troy dig up a 1972 dime (10Â¢) with a Roosevelt imperfection, which is worth 29Â¢; together with a 1Â¢ coin, they are worth 30Â¢ altogether. (The actual answer is a quarter (25Â¢) and a nickel. JD only said that one of the coins wasn't a nickel).

Andy sells Barney his nickel for $75. Then Barney compares it to his own nickel and discovers that they both face the same way.

He has to resort to shouting "It's worth money now!" at someone who wants to see if it'll be worth money some day.

Rare Money / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted has Jade, a magical material associated with the Terrestrial Exalted (and with no relation to real jade). It's fantastically valuable and also a Practical Currency as the Exalted can use it to make magic items, which means that few below powerful lords bother trading in it directly. Most people get by with a paper currency called jade scrip, silver coins, or barter.

Jimmy claims to have a misprinted $0.50 coin where the picture of the president is inverted. Since the coin is rarely seen in circulation, the mark does not remember which way the picture should be facing and is easily convinced that the coin is a valuable misprint.

It turns out the cash is in the form of so-called 'Aloha money'; money overprinted with the word 'Hawaii' in case the Japanese overran Hawaii. Now valuable collectors' items, $24,000 in uncirculated bills is now worth $1.6 million.

It's not clear what the waiter is more surprised by: by the fact that a tiny girl manhandled him so badly or by the banknote he probably saw for the first time in his life.

Rare Money / int_cd6bad8a	comment	In a story in Gold Key's The Twilight Zone comic, a psychiatrist is visited late at night by a well-dressed young man. The psychiatrist agrees to see him, and the young man recounts a recurring dream in which he is trapped on a sinking ship. The psychiatrist provides him with reassurance, and the young man vanishes while the psychiatrist's back is turned. The young man leaves behind a pile of cash to pay for the consultation, but when the psychiatrist picks it up, he notices that they are old, large-sized US banknotes the Treasury removed from circulation in 1923. And they are sopping wet. Then he glances at a newspaper and sees that it is the anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic.
