If I recall correctly this is because someone found an infinite money glitch and used a credit card that had a big cash back. So he would buy the bills then deposit into his bank account and pay of his credit cards. So now they increased the price to more than the face value.

But that's just stupidity of the seller. You must account for credit card fees when you sell anything.

Here the issue is that they're several times more expensive than their printed value, hardly the same issue.

That was with the dollar coins
