1. A rare bicentennial quarter, struck in error and worth nearly $111 million, has surfaced in circulation.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

2. According to experts, only five more of these rare quarters are known to exist and are valued at over $30 million USD each.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

3. The error coin features the 1776-1976 date and lettering on its edge, instead of the year and E Pluribus Unum like the other bicentennial quarters.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

4. The quarter was first discovered by a high school student in California who noticed the unusual edge lettering.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

5. This rare find has sparked a frenzy among coin collectors and enthusiasts, as it is considered one of the most valuable U.S. coins ever.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

6. The previous record for the most expensive U.S. coin was for a 1913 Liberty Head nickel sold for $3.7 million in 2010.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

7. The rare bicentennial quarter is valued at more than 22,000 times its face value, making it one of the most valuable quarters in existence.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

8. Several factors, such as the coin's scarcity, historical significance, and mint condition, contribute to its immense value.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]
