US Banknotes

Your bill isn't a printing error. The motto was first put on bills in the late 1950s, as part of the anti-communist hysteria that was prevalent at the time.

Italy stopped using the Lira in 2002. 2000 Lira would have been worth about $1.20.

$2 bills dated 1976 and later are only worth face value, but older ones can be worth a premium. Their extra value ranges from only a small amount (50 cents) to thousands of dollars depending on their date and series letter, but without more specific information it's not possible to give any idea of an individual bill's value.

There is no such thing as a set value for anything. Something is worth what someone is willing to pay right now. Prices can fluctuate daily.

Ebay is a good place to look for current values. If you have an account you can see the completed auctions and the prices that are being paid. IT IS NOT JUST AN ESTIMATE BUT ACTUAL SALES! That should give you an idea as what yours might bring should you list them on Ebay.

I talk to many dealers who are surprised at the prices people pay on Ebay. The dealers I know will not pay what Ebay sellers are getting.

The state quarter program created millions of new collectors and I think a lot dealers have yet to recognize that fact. More buyers equals more demand which leads to higher prices and a wider range of collectibles. Of course it's the old supply and demand thing.

In coins and paper currency the condition and rarity along with supply and demand determines value.

You will see on Ebay that even new money is bringing a premium.

Despite its age, as of 05/2010 it's only worth face value to $140 in circulated condition regardless of its series letter.

A nice uncirculated one might retail for $175 or more.

Please post a new question with more details. What's the bill's date and seal color? What does the suspected misprint look like?

100 dollars of course!

The U.S. government did not print any $10 bills with that date.

Your bill may have been issued by a private bank, which was common in that time. If so please post a new question with the bank's name.

Please look again and post a new question.

Unless in good condition, $20. Perhaps as much as twice that if in perfect condition to the right buyer. However, if you use it, you risk the government burning it.

No. 1957 silver certificates were printed in large numbers and many were saved when silver certificates were discontinued only a few years later, so most of them have only a small extra value.

Please see the Related Question for more information.

Ah, 20 dollars.

The US didn't print any $1 bills dated 1989, and the only "$1" coins minted that year are American Eagle bullion dollars that were sold to collectors and not meant for circulation.

Please post a new and more specific question.

Quite a few, but none of them are likely to ever be found in circulation - they date from 1918 or earlier and are a different size than current bills. Check out the Related Link for a list of prices.

Any bills dated 1976 or later are only worth face value.

The largest current denomination is $100 USD. Although larger bills ($500, $1000, $5000, $10000) were issued in the past they are no longer printed and are destroyed by the Treasury when redeemed at a bank.

The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate, designed to simplify transactions between Federal Reserve Banks. They were not circulated among the general public. Since 1969, the largest denomination in active circulation is the $100 bill.

Production of large circulating bills stopped in 1945, and in 1969 the government decided to cease distributing them altogether. The big bills are still around (though mostly in the hands of collectors). They've never been formally recalled but instead are returned to the Treasury if redeemed at a bank. They technically remain legal tender and could be spent, although doing so would be foolish because they're worth much more than face value on the collectibles market.

The biggest bill still in use is the classic C note -- the $100 bill. The "Benjamin" (named because it carries a picture of Benjamin Franklin) was the highest note to survive the 1969 repeal, because by that point, electronic money transfer systems had rendered large paper bills mostly unnecessary.

Hamilton was never president and never was a serious candidate for president. He was the first secretary of the treasury and did much to establish the US monetary system and put the new nation on a firm financial basis. His face is on the $10 bill.
