Best Answer

Red seals and serial numbers indicate that a bill is a United States Notes. US Notes were very similar to the current Federal Reserve notes in that they weren't backed by gold or silver in the Treasury.

US Notes were issued from 1862 up till the 1960s. Because there was no monetary difference between the 2 forms, US Notes were phased out and all subsequent bills were issued as Federal Reserve Notes to save on printing costs.

What is the value of a Two dollar bill with the serial numbers L 63797340 A?

What is the value of a two dollar bill with the serial numbers L 63797340 A and why is this bill so special? You didn't provide the bill's date and seal color, which are important facts needed to determine the value. However, assuming the bill is either a red-seal U.S. Note from 1953 or 1963, or a green-seal Federal Reserve Note dated 1976 or later, there's nothing special about that serial number. The red-seal bills are worth 3 or 4 dollars on average and the green-seal ones are current issues worth exactly $2. Serial numbers are counters and security features so they rarely add to a bill's value. There are people who collect unusual numbers such as 00000001 or 123456789 but that's about all.

What is the Value of 5 dollar bill with consecutive serial numbers?

The value of a five dollar bill is five dollars. It's not clear what you mean by "consecutive serial numbers." If you mean that the bill's serial number looks like "12345678" or something, then a collector might be willing to pay a small premium for it as a curiosity. If you mean that you have two or more five dollar bills where the serial numbers are consecutive, they're worth five dollars each, period.
