Aside from the one dollar coin, other coins have a face value of less than one dollar. In the past, there were larger value coins, but they haven't been used since the 1930s.

If the coins total a dollar, the coins and the dollar bill have the same value. Being printed on paper, a dollar bill is easier and lighter to carry, than a handful of coins.

How much is a 1900 E Pluribus Unum silver dollar worth?

To find a "numismatic value" of a Morgan Silver Dollar, you need to know the coin's mint mark and condition. There are various online price guides. The silver content of these coins is about 3/4 ounce, making most worn coins more valuable for their metal content (multiply the spot price of an ounce of silver by 0.75). In 2011, when silver was as high as $48 an ounce, dollar coins brought in more than $36. By 2018, the coins had fallen to about $12


What is the value of a misprinted twenty dollar bill where the stamping is off center and the top of the bill has no white border?

Alignment tolerances for U.S. coins are fairly sloppy. If there's no border on the top but the bottom does NOT show part of another bill, it's probably only worth a few bucks above face value. However if part of another bill is visible along the bottom that's considered to be a more valuable mistake and could sell for $50 or more.
