In an effort to combat organized crime, President Nixon issued an executive order in 1969 that prevents banks from distributing high-denomination bills, any that they have or receive are to be sent back to the Treasury. The order didn't officially withdraw the bills so technically they're still legal tender but they're long gone from circulation.
How much is a Series 1995 twenty dollar bill worth?
They are worth the face valued 20$. 1995 is a little older, but general collectors look for at least 30 to 40 years older than the current currency before bill has a chance of being worth more than face value. And even then, you might be making a few extra dollars. The bill will also have to be in near mint condition. If you have a lot of them, then hold on to them and try to sell them in 5 or 10 years. Otherwise, go buy yourself some ice cream.
What is the value of a five dollar bill silver certificate made in 1953 B with a red seal?

Value of 1934 Hawaiian twenty dollar bill?
To clear things up, the bill isn't from Hawaii. It was printed in Washington during WWII for use in that territory. Distinctive seal colors and the "HAWAII" overprint were used so that they could be identified and demonetized in the event of an invasion. The idea was to prevent the Japanese from capturing the money and using it to finance their war efforts.
There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 20 dollar bill with HAWAII on it".

How much is the 2008 misprinted five dollar bill worth?
Nothing, theres no misprint. The five dollar bills says series 2006 because they were made in 2006. The just came out in 2008.
Not exactly ...Remember, US bills are printed with, as noted, series dates. The definition of a series date has changed over the years but the Treasury currently starts a new series of bills only when a new Secretary of the Treasury takes office. Because Henry Paulson was in office from 2006 to 2009, both types of $5 bills were "Series 2006". The new purple and gray ones were in fact printed in 2008-2009, not 2006.Note that in the past series dates were changed even less often so some bills went as long as 30 years with the same date!
Not completely exactly on the improvement...
Bureau of Engraving and Printing tested new design by first printing green seal notes, only issuing 410 million in 64 print runs before production of new design with purple seal started (http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006_q.html). As such, these notes in a limited run are worth more than $5. The new design issuance with purple seal is not worth more than $5 (as 2 billion have been printed to date).
What is the value of a 1934 US 20 dollar silver certificate?
