What is the value of a year 2000 two dollar silver certificate?

The last US $2 silver certificates were dated 1899, and no $2 bills were printed with the date 2000.

What you have is probably a privately issued replica intended to celebrate the year 2000. Unfortunately once the celebrations were over, there was almost no market for any memorabilia so it has very little collector value.

What is the value of federal reserve note one hundred dollar bill from 1934?

Despite its age these bills are not particularly rare or valuable. As of 02/2012 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $100 to $140 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $175

Serial Numbers

A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.

How much is a 1988 one dollar bill worth?

If it is a normal one dollar bill it is worth one dollar only.

If it is an antique bill which cannot be found in circulation now, you can auction it to antique bill collectors and they may buy it at a higher price...

Who is on the US 5 dollar bill and why?

President Abraham Lincoln. I think b/c he was such a great president, the penny wasn't enough fame/support.

MoreWhen the Lincoln Memorial was built in 1914 the government decided to print new $5 bills to celebrate both its opening and to honor Lincoln.

Is there a US 5000 dollar bill?

There were, but not currently. At one time the US issued high-denomination ($500, $1000, $5000, and $10000) bills. They didn't circulate much among the general public and printing ended in 1945, although the last bills in the series were dated 1934.

There's more information at the Related Link.

Distribution of high-value bills by banks was halted in 1969 as a way to discourage their use in criminal activities such as drugs, money laundering, weapons, etc. The bills were never withdrawn so technically you could spend one but they're worth more than face value to a collector.

What is the value of a 1995 500 dollar silver certificate?

It may be a privately-issued item but it's definitely not a genuine US bill. The last US silver certificates of any denomination were dated 1957, and no $500 silver certificates have been printed since the 1890s.

Please post a new, separate question with more information that might help to ID the item.

When did they stop making 2 bills?

Why is there a star at the end of my 50 dollar bill is it worth more?

A star after a US bill's serial number means it was printed to replace a bill that was damaged during the printing process and had to be destroyed. In general "star notes" are worth a bit more than ordinary notes with the same series date and letter. A 1969 $50 isn't rare so you might get an extra 5% or so for it, which might take its retail value all the way to $65.

What was the type of money was used until 1957 when the US government issued silver certificates?

Silver certificates existed long before 1957. In fact:

  • The first $1 silver certificates were printed in 1886
  • 1957 was actually the final series year for silver certificates.
  • At one time or another every denomination from $1 to $1000 had been issued as silver certificates.

Other major forms of paper currency that were printed prior to and/or concurrently with silver certificates included

  • Demand Notes
  • United States Notes
  • Treasury Notes
  • Gold Certificates
  • National Currency Notes
  • Federal Reserve Notes

Each form had different "backing", i.e. they represented obligations of the government or central bank, supported either by precious metal held in reserve or by the faith and credit of the issuing agency.

Silver certificates were backed dollar-for-dollar by silver metal on deposit with the Treasury. When the price of silver was deregulated in the early 1960s the Treasury could no longer keep the ratio of metal to silver certificates at a fixed level. In 1963 silver certificates were discontinued in favor of Federal Reserve Notes, and redemption for silver metal was halted five years later. Silver certificates were never formally withdrawn and are technically still legal tender, although most of them are worth extra to collectors.

What is the value of 100 uncirculated two dollar star notes in sequential order?

What is the value of a 1966 A US 100 dollar bill with a red seal?

As of 07/2014 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $200 to $275 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $800

The red ink indicates your bill is a United States Note, a form of currency that was discontinued after the 1966 A $100 series was printed.

The reverse of the US $1 bill shows both sides of the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle holds an olive branch in one claw, symbolizing the country's desire for peace, and a set of arrows in the other, indicating that the US is willing to use its strength if necessary.
