US Banknotes

The U.S. did not print any bills of any type with that date.

Please check again and post a new question. If there is a small letter next to the date include that in your posting.

Please post a new question with the bill's date and whether there is a small letter right next to the date.

What you're referring to is actually called a silver certificate. Silver certificates were printed from 1886 to the early 1960s in many denominations, so more information is needed. Please post a new, separate question with the bill's denomination, date, and what letter if any is next to the date. You don't need to copy the serial number though.

100 dollar bills were not made in a 1935. Post a new question with the correct date.

Please post a new question with a very important piece of information - the bill's denomination.

Not now, but there were once real $3 bills in the United States and they were legal tender at the time. This was in the 1850s when private banks and companies were allowed to print their own currency. A number of three-dollar bills were produced, including one featuring an image of Santa Claus in his sleigh.

And bills of various denominations appeared during the Revolutionary War. Called "continentals," they were never backed by currency and soon lost their value.

However, the US Treasury never issued a 3-dollar bill. There was one produced as part of a scam in 1828.

Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't print any bills dated 1958. The closest date if 1957.

If you got it in change, $2. A nice uncirculated one might retail for all of $3.

$2 bills were first issued as FRNs starting in 1976 and none of those issues is rare. Even though $2 bills only make up about 1% of all the bills in circulation that still amounts to hundreds of millions of them so they're not scarce, just uncommon.

The time has been variously reported as 2:20, 4:10, or 4:15. Some experts suspect that it's intentionally obscured as part of the many anti-counterfeiting measures used in newer US banknotes.

The "D" is just part of the serial number and is unimportant to its value.

The last runs of silver certificates were widely saved so they do not have a high collectible value. Circulated 1957, 57-A and 57-B bills retail for at most $1.50 if worn, maybe twice that if crisp and unfolded.

The star on any bank note means that the bill you have in your hand etc. has been re-issued and the old bill has been destroyed. wingofeagle14@yahoo.com

The US prints $2 bills as needed. Production levels are much lower than other denominations but they have been printed as recently as the 2013 series.

Note that the denomination has NEVER been discontinued or removed from circulation; in fact, there has been a very slight uptick in demand due to higher prices for transit fares, in vending machines, etc.

Red seals were mostly used on $2 and $5 bills rather than $1 bills. As the banner across the top indicates, such a bill is called a United States Note.

US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government, alongside silver and gold certificates, and eventually Federal Reserve Notes issued by the central bank.

US Notes and Federal Reserve Notes are "unbacked" notes; that is, they're accepted for payment because the vast majority of citizens are willing to accept them as representing a specific amount of money due to the stability, faith, and credit of the US Treasury. This contrasts with gold and silver certificates that were issued only in amounts that represented specific quantities of those metals on deposit with the government.

The US went off the gold standard during the Great Depression and gold certificates were discontinued. The same thing happened with silver in the 1960s so silver certificates were also discontinued. At that point US Notes and FRN's were the only forms of currency issued and were effectively the same. The government then decided to combine all currency production and distribution under the central bank to eliminate duplication of effort. Because many more FRNs were in circulation than US Notes, the latter were discontinued in 1966.

There weren't any printed with that date.

Not enough details. Please post a new question with the bill's date, seal color, and whether there is a small letter next to the date.

The actual question is a bit different, because some dollar bills - but not all - have been issued as silver certificates and some silver certificates - but not all - have been issued as dollar bills.

Silver certificates were a form of paper currency backed dollar-for-dollar by silver on deposit with the US Treasury. Silver certificates were issued in all denominations up to $1000 although 1's and 5's were by far the most common. They were usually printed with blue seals.

The government could only issue as many dollars' worth of silver certificates as they had silver metal in the vaults. They were also exchangeable for a fixed amount of silver metal. At various times you could get a dollar's worth of silver coins or silver bullion in exchange. By the 1960s demand for silver skyrocketed and the government was forced to deregulate its price. To prevent people from "gaming" the system by exchanging metal back and forth for bills and skimming the difference due to price changes, the Treasury discontinued printing silver certificates and stopped redeeming existing ones for silver.

They're technically still legal tender and very occasionally show up in change, but in general they're worth more to collectors than face value. Many $1 silver certificates are only worth a bit more than face value, sometimes as little as a quarter extra, though. Other denominations from the late 19th and early 20th do carry a higher premium.

In your wallet. It's a dollar bill.

There were many of these notes taken to the post office to get a stamp and a first day cancel seal -- they are not rare.

In a nice holder, it has a retail value of $3 to $4.

The US didn't print any $5 bills dated 1935. Please check again and post a new question.

The U.S. did not print any $1 bills with that date.

I assume you have a National Currency note with a brown seal. If so, most of these are worth $65.-$95. depending on how worn they are.

However bills from Dallas are worth $150.-$300.
