A $2,000.00 QUARTER?

Normally, when you turn over a quarter top to bottom, the backside is right side up.

Two South Carolina coin collectors are saying they have found seven new Pennsylvania quarters with the backside printed upside down. When one side of a coin is printed upside down it is called a "rotated reverse" coin.

Coin experts say that this quarter may be worth money in the future. So, check your change because you may have a quarter worth more than 25 cents!
