* A rare, but real, denomination. (Example: a $2 bill in the United States, or the Japanese ¥2,000 note. For some reason, they're rarely used.)
* An outdated design on the coin or bill. (Example: a previous monarch being shown on the currency.)
* A ''rare'' design on the coin or bill. (Example: commemorative coins or bills.)
* A coin that ''used'' to be a bill or vice versa. (Example: Canada used to have 25¢, $1, and $2 bills. All denominations are now coins.)
* A coin that's made from a precious metal, usually silver. (Example: 90% silver Pre-1964 United States dimes, quarters and half dollars, and 40% silver Pre-1970 United States half dollars, all of which occasionally circulate, but are almost immediately pulled out of circulation and hoarded by individuals for their metal content.)
* A foreign coin or bill.
* A discontinued coin or bill (whether it has any current value is beside the point, it ''once'' did). This includes coins and bills of discontinued currencies. (Example: $10,000 US bills, or many European currencies after the advent of the euro).
* An unusual serial number. (Examples: an extremely low one or one with a lot of the same digit.) This includes [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replacement_banknote "star notes,"]] where a special symbol in the serial number marks the bill as a replacement for a misprinted one.

** Also, in 2014 a new 1-ruble coin design was introduced, replacing the number 1 with the "₽" symbol. It was quetly discontinued not long after, but the strangely-labeled coins are still sometimes a source of minor confusion (and minor revenue, selling for 5 times the legal value).

** Around 2022, the Bank of Russia started issuing new five ruble bills. Because of the unusual plastic-y texture (all other Russian money uses linen or cotton materials) and the fact that the designers [[AnachronisticClue seemingly forgot to replace the "1997" date print]], many incidents of the bills being mistaken for fakes have been reported.

** While not exactly rare the $50 bill is pretty unpopular, mainly because it comes with the same problems the $100 bill has (they're hard to get change for and stores would rather just not deal with them at all) but is only worth half as much. It's the least printed bill other than the $2.

* Gold sovereigns, one of the best known modern gold coins ''in history'', are still legal tender for their face value; 50 pence for half sovereigns, £1 for a full sovereign, £2 for a double sovereign and £5 for a quintuple sovereign. However, considering how the price of gold continues to rise, you'd be an absolute moron to hand them over in your change.
