Don't worry about scanning the bill. The fact that you have a mirror image almost certainly means the bill is an offset error, which could put it in the $200+ range (retail) or a buying price of maybe $125 or so. Not a bad return on a $1 investment!
As far as valuing the other coins, the best thing to do would be to learn a little bit about mint marks, conditions, etc. so you could make a first pass at sorting out the goodies. You could use a site such as coinfacts.com (warning - no new info added since 2008, but what's there is accurate) to look at images and find mint mark positions, and then check the values sites (PCGS, Numismedia) linked off the CoinClub home page to get an idea of values. Coin collecting is loads of fun so you may even find yourself getting hooked on it. It's far harder to find collectible coins in circulation these days than when I started but occasionally some really cool stuff still shows up.
I have to say I'm suspicious about a quarter that shows an 1800 date because no quarters were minted during the period 1797-1803. You might compare its design to those shown at the link below to see what matches. Perhaps the date is worn, or it could be a fake or fantasy piece.
: Now that I know what you mean by mirror image then yes it is a mirror image bill. I have a scanner and it works but I do not know how to put the picture up so if you can tell me how to put the picture on this sit I can show you the bill if that will help out. I work as an assistant manager at a gas station so I get a lot of bills and coin I also have a 1800 liberty quarter and a lot of other coin as well. but when I checked the prices on them they dont SEEM [seam] to be worth very much. I also dont real know that much about coins or bill so everything you are tell me I appreciated so Thank you very much for taking the time and helping me.
