How much is a 1 dollar bill with 2 different serial numbers worth?

A 1 dollar bill with two different serial numbers is not considered rare or valuable in most cases. Its worth would still be the face value of one dollar. However, if the bill has any significant printing errors or unique features, it may be desirable to collectors and could potentially be worth more than face value.


What do the letters and numbers on the bottom right side of a US 2 dollar bill stand for?

Assuming your bill is dated 1976 or later, the large number that appears in all four inside corners of the scrollwork indicates the Federal Reserve District that distributed the bill. It corresponds to the alphabetic position of the letter in the black seal to Jefferson's left; the seal also displays the name of the city where the District's bank is located. The smaller combination of letters and numbers is called a plate position indicator or face plate number. US banknotes are printed on large sheets of paper that are then cut into individual bills. The letter and the number after it indicate the grid position where an individual bill was located on the large sheet, somewhat like a city address ("F Street and 3rd Avenue"). If there's a small "FW" before the face plate number, the bill was printed at the Treasury's Fort Worth printing plant. If there is no "FW", it was printed at the plant in Washington, DC. Note that all US bills display face plate numbers, not just $2 bills. The number is in a different position for each denomination.


How many numbers are in the serial number on a US 100 dollar bill?

All current US bills have 8 digits and at least two letters in their serial numbers. $5 bills and higher have two letters before the digits and one after. The second letter before the digits indicates which Federal Reserve District distributed the bill. $1 and $2 bills only have one letter before the digits. The Federal Reserve District letter is inside the seal on the left side of the bills' face.
