Hello! I have 3 $100 bills that all start with the same first 6 serial numbers but ending consecutively. There also seems to be a noticeable misalignment on the front top where it's thinner than the bottom. Just curious if these are worth anything. TIA!    Edited by Taytertot95

They are worth $300 for all 3. There isn't anything special about them. You can try selling on ebay but with shipping, fees you'll probably lose money. |

Actually that misalignment deters from the value. It would never make a top grade.
Most collectors like their currency to be centered

Typically, misaligned notes will appear well-centered on one side and off-center on the other side. Cutting errors happen when the sheets fail to align properly during the last stage of creating a banknote: the cutting process. Both sides of the note will be affected by this error which is the difference between the two types so check both sides to see if its a misaligned note or cutting error. Normal notes have an even border around the engraved picture on the front and back. Sometimes, when the sheet of bills gets out of alignment during printing, the note will have uneven borders, a truncated design or even part of the next note's design. Then it may have additional value. . Typically, in order to qualify for a Cutting Error however, a small portion of the adjacent note must be visible or (when the error occurs at the edge of the sheet) a small portion of the note's design must be cut off. See the $100 or the $5 bill here from series 2017a which has cutting error that affected both sides of the note. https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/artic...tting-error/Edited by datadragon

TO qualify as an "alignment error", or rather, a "mis-cut note", you'd need some of the printed detail missing, and/or bits of the next note on the sheet showing at the edges.
In other words, your notes are "still within tolerance".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

As much as I hate piling on, all of the above is accurate. For several reasons, collectors see these notes as poorly centered and not errors. Being consecutive is perfectly normal and adds little to no value. I'd be tempted to keep the bottom note and spend the others, depending on whether the centers have a bend, or if they've been folded.
Oh, welcome to CCF.
