After US currency was reduced to its present smaller size in 1928, 5 different colors were used to denote various types of money. The blue seal indicates that these bills were backed by silver, and were fully redeemable in coin. Since 1968 this has no longer been true, and most silver certificates, particularly the later dollar ones (most of the 1935 and all of the 1957 series) are worth little above face value unless in near-perfect condition.
Incidentally, the other colors used were the familiar green for Federal Reserve notes, brown for the first (1928) Federal Reserve and National Currency bills, as well as some World War II notes, yellow for Gold Certificates and some World War II bills, and red for National notes. Each are an interesting study in their own right.

What is the value of a 1909 US 20 dollar silver certificate?
There weren't any federally-issued $20 silver certificates dated 1909 but at that time many private banks printed their own bills under federal charter. Please post a new, separate question with more information. If your bill has the name of a private bank on it, include that name. Also note the seal color - at that time they weren't standardized so a blue seal didn't indicate that a bill was a silver certificate.
