The last $100 silver certificates were dated 1891 and there weren't any federally-issued $100 bills dated 1909. At that time many private banks issued 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.
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.
only about 430,000 were produced, so it may be worth up to $1,000
The face value of any coin or stamp is simply its denomination. The face value of a $5 bill is $5, the face value of a 44¢ stamp is 44¢, etc. The term "book value" is a bit soft when referring to collectibles, because collectibles can have multiple values: First, there's the auction value, the price that an item will sell for when people are bidding against each other for a specific item. Usually this applies only to very scarce items where there isn't a broad market for them. Next there's the retail value. That's easier to determine when there are many examples of a particular item because the marketplace tends to level out what people are willing to pay. For example, the retail value of a Lincoln cent with a particular date, mint mark, variety, and condition (e.g. a 1909-S VDB) may be about $750 because. while they're scarce, there are still enough of them that the amounts people are willing to pay start averaging out; that's the way an open market operates. Then there's the wholesale or buyer value. A dealer who sells a collectible item needs to make a profit. That means when they buy an item for later resale, they'll pay less than the price they sell it for (i.e. the retail price). Finally, at least for coins there's what's called their intrinsic value, metal value, or melt value. That's because most coins are made of metals that themselves are bought and sold on the open market. Coins made out of common metals such as copper, zinc, or nickel have very low intrinsic values. However older coins made of gold or silver can be worth much more than their face value because those metals have gone way up in price since the time the coins were minted. For example, as of 04/2011 silver is about $41 an ounce on the spot market so an older silver dollar that contains roughly 0.77 oz of silver would have a melt value in the $30-$32 area. But even here, that's retail - wholesale might be $24 to $27 because again the dealer has to make a profit!
The average price per troy ounce of gold in 1909 was $18.96
The face value of any coin or bill is just its denomination. So, a $2 bill will always have a face value of $2*.However, its collector value may be different - sometimes much different - depending on its age, rarity, and condition. Many 1976 $2 bills were saved as mementos of the Bicentennial, so any that are circulated have no extra collector value. But an uncirculated 1976 $2 bill that isn't folded or otherwise worn might have a collector value of $3 or so.By contrast, a 1909-S cent with the designer's initials on the back has a face value of one cent, but a collector value of about $1000.(*) And a $1 bill will have a face value of $1, etc.
There were no dollar coins minted in 1909. If you have a dollar coin with a 1909 date on it, it is either a fantasy coin, silver round, or most likely a Chinese counterfeit -- I have seen many of these. In any case, its value will be only for whatever silver it may contain.
No such US coin exists. Silver dollars were not minted from 1905-1920.
The Silver Dollar - 1909 was released on: USA: 15 February 1909
what is the value for an American 1909 silver dime
Nothing, because there's no such thing. No Morgan dollars were minted anywhere that year.

No federally-issued $2 bills are dated 1909, and the last $2 silver certificates were dated 1899. However at that time many private banks printed bills under federal charter. Please post a new, separate question with more information that might help to ID the bill, such as the name of the bank and/or the image(s) on it.
The mint mark would have to be a D for Denver, because the New Orleans Mint (O) closed in 1909. Please see the Related Question for more information.
A 1909 Half Eagle can be worth well over $500.00
The last year an "O" Mintmark was used on any US coin was 1909 and no silver dollars were made after 1935. Look at the coin again and post new question.
Please look at the date again, no US dollar coins are dated 1909.
The New Orleans Mint closed in 1909 so you can't have a 1926-O dollar. You may be seeing a "D" mint mark for Denver. If so, please check the Related Question for values.
