CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 1:31 pm PCGS - Gold Certificates allowed citizens to deposit gold in exchange for paper notes, but this one is remembered for its typo instead. One Thousand Dollars was misspelled, making it one of the most famous spelling errors in U.S. currency. Graded PCGS Extremely Fine 40, this note is among the finest known. Once you notice it, you can't stop looking. Check out US Gold Certificates on ebay Check out US Gold Certificates on ebay Check out Books on US Paper Money on Amazon Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7300 Posts	Posted 07/13/2026 8:10 pm One thousand dollars in gold coin would be worth ~ $200,000 today. I hope this note is worth more otherwise they should have kept the gold coins.
