A red seal note is a type of currency. It is a collector's item, anda bill noted with a red seal imageon it.
The green seal indicates a Federal Reserve Note, while red is a United States Note. No U.S. Notes have been issued since 1971.
A red treasury seal indicates that the note is issued by the United States, instead of the Federal Reserve
If it has a blue seal, retail prices for a circulated note range from $35 to $65. If it has a red seal, that range increases to $200 to $500. If you have a red seal note and you want to sell it, you should get at least 2 competing appraisals first.
The reason a red seal $5 bill doesn't have a Federal Reserve letter on it is because the red seal version is NOT a Federal Reserve note. Red seal bills are United States notes.

The value of this note depends on condition, color of the seal (red or blue) and who's signatures are on it. So an accurate evaluation with seeing the note is not possible. I can say the red seal has the highest value.Please take it to a qualified collector or dealer.
A red treasury seal indicates that the note is issued by the United States, instead of the Federal Reserve. An uncirculated 1963 $5 Red Seal bill is worth about $20. Very Fine condition worth about $9.
It's either altered or not from 2003. A bill with a red seal would be a United States Note, a form of currency that was discontinued around 1970; the last red seal $2 bills were printed in the 1963 series.
Blue note indicates that the bill is a Silver Certificate. At one point you could demand the amount of the bill in silver payed to you by any bank. Red note indicates it is a U.S Note. It wasn't backed by silver. It is just currency issued by the United States with the "faith of the nation" that backed it.
It is worth two dollars.
Please post a new question with the bill's date and seal color. A red seal indicates it's a United States Note and a green seal is for a Federal Reserve Note. The last $2 silver certificates were printed in 1891.
As of 03/2013, a 1928 D $2 red-seal United States Note retails for $5-$12 in circulated condition.
