During tax season fly-by-night tax prepares opened shops around my fair town and were handing out these clever flyers. The flyers are shaped, designed, and folded to look like a lost fifty dollar bill. Knowing that most people throw flyers away after a few minutes these ingenious flyers are bound to get picked up again. Most people would not pass by a lost buck even if it dirty or in the gutter.
This type of advertising is not illegal since it is not meant to deceive anyone into thinking it is a genuine note. Instead it hits on that scavenging gene that little piece everyone has that wants to find something for nothing. The ad is for Liberty Tax. The company gives you $50 cash when you go in and let them do your taxes. They are famous for doing taxes with your final year's pay-stub.
Oh they are also infamous for taking back the $50 and an additional $350 to do simple taxes, they have caused franchise owners to go broke, and have done funny business with social security numbers, tax-day loans, and refund checks.

Value?
None. This is not even close to being a exonumia piece even though it is a coupon. Ad and certain money collectors have shown interest older versions of these like wooden nickels. Still older funny money/ads rarely hold any high values. The old adage "Don't take any wooden nickels." is very appropriate for this particularly piece.
Do you have an odd bill and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

1982 with no mintmark I heard about this error back in the late 1980s and have been looking ever since it is a $200 coin that most people would not notice but it is very rare. It has been found in change before.
Interesting. Thanks for letting me pick your brain!
I have a fake July 25, 1861, 100,000 bill supposedly issued in Richmond, VA for the Confederate States of America. The front has a picture of what looks like George Washington and Andrew Jackson on the corners and two women in the middle. It is signed by J. Elliott and a name I can't make out. Any information you have would be great. Thanks!

From what I understand all $100,000 CSA notes are fake and have no value.
Unfortunately I have no links or printed materials to confirm it.
Maybe try http://forums.collectors.com/ or another obselete note site.
