Hi guys,
at first, sorry for my english, its not my first language, but I try my best.
I cant call myself a collector, but 8 years ago I worked for an money exchange office for 7 years, so during that time I developed a kind of relationship to money in the sense of the object of interest.
If anyone was interested, I am from czech republic, where we have "our own" currency - czech crown, (#269;eská koruna in our language), so its kinda necessary for tourists (ofc if they need cash) to exchange their currency for ours. I wont talk much about practices I had to follow, they were horrible from tourists point of view, great from point of view of company - customers were getting only 65-70% value of exchanged money, because czech law allowed this, if it was written on the exchange rate board visible to customer. As far as I know its still legal, so if you happen to travel to Czech republic, be very very aware and ask before any currecny exchange for the rate or if there is any additional commision or fee applied.
Back to the story... Part of my job, when I came to my shift, was to check all foreign notes in the office, if there are any counterfeits. I should mention that if my employer didnt have enought foreign currency to sell to our customers (mostly czech people travelling abroad), they bought it in a bank.. And thats how I came across one interesting 100usd note. I found it in a 10.000usd worth "pack" (this is probably incorrect term, correct me please) of brand new 100usd notes, or at least I thought they were brand new. The "pack" was tied with paper stating $10.000 and this form of writing currency is not common in our country. I also remember, that they smelled weird (when I was in training to recognize counterfeit notes in Czech national bank I have been told that dollars are impregnated with something that prevents rot and mold, because they could be stored for very long time as a reserve) and I had a bit dirty fingers after going through the whole "pack" several times. What I dont remember is if it was consecutive line of serial numbers, neither I have any photos of other notes from the "pack" - I know, I was young and stupid, but I have the note. Fun fact, I found first photo of the note I took, it was taken by HTC Wildfire, my first smartphone ever, about 10 years ago :)
And finally the question: Could it be worth more than (what I learned is called) face value? If it could, how much would that be?

Thanks for reading my post and any answers

Welcome to CCF.
Misaligned Overprints have three categories. Minor, Moderate and Major. Your note has a moderate misaligned overprint. An example, very similar to yours sold a few years back for a little over $300. This should get you into the ballpark as far as price goes. Cool note !
