Any banknote with a "genuine" printing flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible banknote. Although they should never have made it into circulation, genuinely flawed banknotes are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the printing process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the printers therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the note as genuine and make a valuation.
