US Banknotes

A 1976 two dollar bill is worth about two dollars. If it is in perfect condition you might be able to find a collector willing to pay you more, but these bills are readily available and don't have much value on the resale market.

More information is needed. Please check your bill's date and what letter if any is next to the date, then see the question "What is the value of [date] [letter] US 50 dollar bill?" for more information.

The US didn't print any 1926 $20 bills.

Please check again and post a new question. Include the bill's date, what letter if any is right next to the date, and what color the seal is.

Red seals and serial numbers indicate that a bill is a United States Notes. US Notes were very similar to the current Federal Reserve notes in that they weren't backed by gold or silver in the Treasury.

US Notes were issued from 1862 up till the 1960s. Because there was no monetary difference between the 2 forms, US Notes were phased out and all subsequent bills were issued as Federal Reserve Notes to save on printing costs.

One type didn't replace the other. Both silver certificates and US Notes were printed concurrently for almost 80 years, sometimes in the same denominations.

The difference between them was that silver certificates had to be backed dollar-for-dollar with silver metal held by the Treasury, while United States Notes were fiat bills issued directly by the government rather than through a separate bank.

Silver certificates were discontinued in the early 1960s when silver prices had to be deregulated. Convertibility was halted because each bill could no longer be backed by a fixed amount of metal.

US Notes served exactly the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes, so around 1970 they were discontinued to save the cost of printing two separate but interchangeable types of bills.

Face value only.

The last silver certificate $1 bills were dated 1957. If yours has a green seal it's a Federal Reserve Note - it should say so right at the top of the bill.

FRNs from 1963 and later are very common. If it's from circulation it's worth no more than $1.25 retail. Uncirculated, perhaps $2.

Nothing special. It just means that the serial number sequence wound pretty far down.

There was a long stretch of time when there was no change in the offices of the U.S. Treasurer or Secretary of the Treasury, so mountains of $1 bills were printed in the same series. It nearly exhausted the set of possible serial number / letter combinations.

The only U.S.-issued $2 notes from that decade were dated 1928.

You may have a bill issued by a private bank. If so, please post a new question with additional details that might help to ID your bill. The picture, any significant wording, etc. The serial number is not important.

Present US paper currency measures 2.61 inches wide by 6.14 inches long, and the thickness is 0.0043 inches. Larger sized notes in circulation before 1929 measured 3.125 inches by 7.4218 inches, all bills are printed on paper that is 0.0043 inches thick.

You didn't describe the images on the coin, but if it carries a picture of Paul Hindenburg and a Nazi swastika, your coin's value as of 06/2008 is roughly:

$8 if it has an A mint mark

$10 with a D or J

$12 with any other mint mark

Assuming you have a bill with a blue seal and the words "National Currency" in addition to "Federal Reserve", prices as of 06/2008 range from $60 to $90 in average circulated condition.

The US didn't print any $2 bills dated 1929. The closest date is 1928; please check again and post a new question.

You can't. However, depending on its age and denomination a silver certificate may be worth extra as a collectible item. You should investigate its value before deciding what to do with it.

There used to be what was called the gold or silver standard where our dollars were backed by a certain amount of silver and gold. You could trade in those silver and gold certificates for a certain amount of the metal, but that's not the case anymore. Redemption of gold certificates for metal ended in 1933. Redemption of silver certificates ended in 1968.

Unless it is in Mint or Uncirculated Condition, just $20. There's still hundreds of thousands of these bills being held by collectors.

In top condition, no tears, color aged well not yellowed or water damaged, upwards of $10,000.

However in circulated condition they are worth considerably less - $75.-$125. for a bill dated 1934, and $45.-$75. for a bill dated 1934A.

Despite the 1934 date these bills were printed for use in Hawaii during WWII. The brown seal and HAWAII overprint were used so that if the islands were invaded by Japan, the bills could quickly be declared worthless without affecting all bills in use on the mainland.

Please check again and post a new question. No US bills of any denomination were printed with the 1952 series date, and the last $2 silver certificates were dated 1899.

I have a 3 dollar bill. It is dated 1/1/1862, Jackson is on the front of it. It has State Of Missouri printed on it. it also has a hand printed number on it and a signature. not sure it is real. Have you seen one? Also there is nothing on the back of it.

Please check again and post a new question. The U.S. did not print any $5 bills with that date.

A 1928 $2 bill, series D is only worth about $38 today. This varies depending on who you are selling to and what condition it is in.

This is not a rare note. In average circulated condition they are worth $2.25 to $5. In uncirculated condition they are worth around $12.
