What is the value of a US 5 dollar bill with different serial numbers?
Your bill most likely has what's called a "stuck counter" error. It could be worth anywhere from $100 to $200 but should be examined in person by an expert in error currency to get a more specific valuation. Serial numbers are printed by a pair of counters that work a bit like the mechanical odometers that cars had many years ago. The counters are supposed to be synchronized but sometimes one gets caught and lags behind the other, resulting in a set of mismatched serial numbers.
What is the value of a 1976 2 dollar bill with mismatched characters?
It's not clear what's meant by "mismatched characters". If that phrase means that the two serial numbers are different, the error can be worth anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on the bill's condition. Serial numbers are printed by a pair counters for each bill. The counters work a bit like an old-fashioned date stamp or the mechanical odometers found in older cars. The counters are supposed to be linked but occasionally one will get stuck, causing the two serial numbers to get out of sync.

Mismatched serial numbers are a moderately rare error. Depending on the bill's condition it could retail for $100 to $300.

Normally the counters are linked together but sometimes one will stick, causing them to print different numbers.

What do the numbers in a currency serial number stand for?
They're simply sequential numbers printed on the bills by a device that looks a bit like an old-fashioned mechanical odometer in a car. Every bill that's printed clicks the counter up by one digit. Except for "unusual" numbers (e.g. 00000005, 33333333, 12345678, etc.) the serial number on a bill does not affect its value.
What is the value of 1974 US 5 dollar bill with 2 different serial numbers?
You should have your bill evaluated in person by a dealer or appraiser who works with error currency. Depending on its condition it could retail for $100 to $200, although some auctions have gone higher. Serial numbers are printed by two mechanical counters. They're supposed to always be in sync but sometimes one will get stuck. Normally the problem is discovered quickly and corrected but once in a while mismatched bills will accidentally slip through quality control.
What is the value of a misprinted 1995 one dollar bill that has part of the back printed on the front?
U.S. currency is printed in a 3-step process :The back is printed first and taken to a drying room.Next the front is printed and then allowed to dry.Last, the serial numbers and Treasury shield are printed in an overprint press.So you can see it's virtually impossible for a partialback side to be printed on the front side.I suggest you take it to a coin show and have a few currency dealers look at it to figure out what you have.
What is the value of a 1985 US 5 dollar bill with no serial numbers?
Depending on the nature of the error, it could be worth $200 to $500 at retail. Missing serial numbers can occur if the bill wasn't fed through the part of the printing process that adds the seal and serial numbers, or if it was fed in upside down and the seal and serial numbers were printed on the back. In any case it should be seen by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in error currency.
