Pull out the change jar, the coin sorter, your kids' piggy banks, and the neighbor shoebox hidden in their side yard bushes. Here's what you're looking for: a Wisconsin state quarter. It seems there were a couple of mistakes (maybe intentional) in the printing of a few thousand of these and collectors will pay $500 or more to get there hands on one.
The mistakes occur on two separate versions of the coin. A cornstalk with an extra turned up leaf on it's ear is one mistake. The other error is an extra leaf that's turned down. Find both and sell the set for over $1000. See detailed images at Snopes.
The excitement has auction entreprenuers scooping up rolls of unopened Wisconsin quarters. The $10 rolls are then sold like lottery tickets at $25-$50 on eBay with the chance that an error coin may be found inside.
My search at home netted one Wisconsin coin with no errors. I'll sell it to you for $1.
