The value of an "old" five-dollar bill will vary with the age and condition. If you got this bill out of circulation, it's almost certainly only worth five dollars. The "average" life span of a paper note is only a couple of years or so (with higher values having a bit longer life). A lot of would-be collectors hit eBay, and they check to see what's for sale there and what is being asked or bid for it.

Old five dollar bills with the small portrait are still considered legal tender and can be used for their face value. However, their collectible value depends on factors like condition, rarity, and demand from collectors. It's recommended to consult a currency expert or check online marketplaces to determine their potential worth.

Banks generally do not like to do this.

How do you tell if you have a dollar bill printed in San Francisco?

You don't have one. US dollar bills are printed only in Washington DC and (since late 1990) in Fort Worth, Texas. Fort Worth bills have a little "FW" next to the plate number in the right-hand corner. If you are asking about bills produced for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, $1 dollar bills, and older bills of higher denominations, have a large "L" within a circle to the left of the portrait. More current higher denomination bills have "L12" just beneath the left serial number (in type the same size as the serial number).


What does a 1968 US 100 dollar bill look like?

It's not possible to describe one because there are no 1968-date US bills. The closest date would be 1969. All 1969 $100 bills have the same design. Franklin's portrait is in a small oval frame in the center of the bill's front side. The number 100 appears in each corner, and the edges are framed by ornate scrollwork. The back has the familiar portrait of Independence Hall, again framed by scrollwork. The bill's colors are green and black, very unlike modern bills with blue, green, and copper colors.


What does a 1974 US 50 dollar bill look like?

All US bills printed from the late 1920 until the late 1980s have almost identical design themes on the front. A 1974 $50 bill has a small oval portrait of Ulysses S. Grant in the center of the front side. The number 50 appears in each corner of the bill and the edges are framed with ornate scrollwork. The reverse has the familiar portrait of the US Capitol, but again smaller than current bills and surrounded by scrollwork. The colors are green and black, unlike current bills that are red, white, blue, and green.

Anything dated 1976 or later is worth only $2 unless it's in brand-new condition. If your bills are older than that, please post a more specific question with their dates and whether there is a small letter next to the date. You don't need to list the serial numbers.
