As of 12/2009, the average retail price of an uncirculated 1981 $20 bill is about $22.
Unfortunately 1981 is too new for the bill to have any significant premium attached to it.
Face value unless it is crisp and unfolded.
The face value of any bill or coin is simply its denomination - i.e. the value printed / struck on its face. So, the face value of any $20 bill is 20 dollars.However the collector value may be very different depending on how common or scarce the bill is. In the case of 1981 $20 bills, the former condition holds. So many were printed that they're only worth slightly more than $20 today. As of 05/2014 a crisp uncirculated one might retail for all of $22.
20,000 dollar
Unless it is a "proof" coin (actual silver), it is worth one dollar.

Unless your bill was hand-autographed separately, all bills carry facsimiles of the signatures of the Secretary and Treasurer in office at their time of issue. So many dollar bills are printed each year that they rarely have any extra value unless they are preserved in new, unfolded condition. If yours is from circulation, feel free to spend it on a soda or Sunday paper.
The Australian Dollar had not yet been floated in 1981 and was tied to the US Dollar. In 1981 One Australian Dollar was equal to One US Dollar. One Dollar AUD in 1981 had the purchasing power of about $2.85 AUD today. One Dollar AUD in 1981 had the purchasing power of about $2.64 USD today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
Susan, not "suies" Dollar, not half dollar (you did look at the coin's denomination, didn't you?) Anyway, circulated 1981 coins of any denomination are worth only face value. Go ahead and spend it.
The only U.S. one dollar coin dated 1981 is a Susan B. Anthony dollar. They are not referred to as Liberty Dollars. None were released into circulation or made from gold. It's been gold plated. Look at the coin again and post new question.
A common issue, its value wil only be a dollar or two.
$100 bills don't get as much use as smaller denominations so they don't wear out as fast. That means $100 bills as old as 1981 really don't have any added value if they turn up in circulation. However, a nice crisp uncirculated $100 with that date might be worth an additional $10 to $15 at retail.
