How many US 1000 dollar bills are in circulation?
None. There is no American 1000 dollar bill. Unless it is a fake.
CorrectionEssentially none. Up till 1945 the US printed bills with values up to $10,000. The last series carried a 1934 date however. In 1969 all further distribution of high-denomination bills was suspended because they were being used to "launder" criminal activities. In addition banks were (and still are) required to send back to the Treasury any such bills that they receive in deposit. Because of that, effectively all high-value bills are long gone from circulation.dip a dollar bill in ANHYDROUSAMMONIA it will shrink to a quarter of it size
Is there any value to a 1935 100000 Wilson gold certificate?
This is no value, unless you robbed the US Treaury Vault. The US Treasury has all the original notes ever issued and all of them have been accounted for. There are no missing serial numbers, in other words. There are a ton of counterfeit items out there with bogus stories of being discovered in sunken chests, boats, etc. No individual ever had access to any of the original gold certificates as they were only used in inter-bank transactions. There were only 42,000 ever issued. Be sure, though, that there are tons of bogus items...one I just saw listed on eBay today from someone in the Philippines. There are scams on websites with individuals "innocently" posting inquiries, but these are obvious ploys to dupe the unwitting. If you can get one, it is a fake. Invest in real estate on Mars or one of the many hype stocks.... if you just want to throw away your money.
In, addition. the Wilson $100,000 gold certificate was printed in the 1934 series not 1935. If yours says 1935 it's definitely a fake.

What is the value of a US 5 dollar bill with a blue seal?
Please post a new question with the bill's date and whether there is a small letter right next to the date.
Blue seals were used on most silver certificates, a form of currency issued until the early 1960s. Up to that time it was possible to exchange them for an equivalent amount of silver metal, but that was discontinued when the price of silver was deregulated.

What is the value of an 1873 US 1 dollar bill?

Note that there were no Federally-issued $1 bills with that date, but many private banks issued paper bills under Federal authority. For a more specific answer please determine the name of the issuing bank and post a new, separate question with that information.
Why did the US 500 dollar bill stop being made?
The US $500 bill was discontinued in 1945 due to low demand. All of these bills were printed in the 1934 series, though, and show that date instead of 1945.
In 1969 President Nixon suspended distribution of bills higher than $100 in an effort to combat organized crime. Inflation has led to calls to print new high-denomination bills, but there's now concern about their use by terrorists so it's doubtful any new ones will be issued in the foreseeable future.
You could be referring to a variety of the 1890 CC Morgan dollar which has a "bar" connecting the wreath to the eagle's tail feathers. This was caused by a damaged die.
Another possibility is that you're thinking of BARR dollars, which are $1 bills dated 1963B and signed by Treasury Secretary Joseph Barr. Barr only served for one month so many people erroneously think that very few bills were printed and any you find are valuable. However, so-called "Barr notes" were actually printed for nearly a year and they're quite common - in fact, nearly a half-billion were put into circulation.

Red ink=red seal=United States Note, a now-obsolete form of US paper money.
I came in contact with one today and unluckily the kid wouldn't let me buy it. If the bill has any pin holes tears or anything else of that sort it is only worth face value if it is in fine condition it is worth roughly $9 very fine then maybe as high as $15 if there is a star * in front of the serial number the it can be worth anywhere from $20 to $125
What is the value of a 1928 G US 2 dollar bill with a red seal?
Retail prices range from $5 to $10 depending on wear. A nice uncirculated one might retail for $25 or so.
The red ink indicates your bill is a United States Note, a form of currency similar to Federal Reserve Notes that was issued until the late 1960s.
In well-worn condition, about $5.00 In lightly-worn condition, about $10.00 Nice crisp uncirculated ones are worth $30.00 or more.
The two dollar bill should have monticello on the back. If so and is in good condition can sell for about 7-25 dollars each.
The value of coins and paper money can vary drastically depending on date, condition, and various stamping. A 1928 g series 2 dollar bill with a red seal is worth between $10 and $50.
It sounds like what you have is called a "gutter fold", an error that happens when one of the large sheets on which multiple bills are printed has a fold or crease in it so part of the paper does not get any ink.
Gutter folds are among the most common printing errors; still, they might retail for upwards of $40 depending on the size of the fold.
What is the Value of 1776 seven dollar bill?
My first thought is that it is unlikely that it is genuine. Various companies have printed replicas of Revolutionary and Confederate currency since the early 20th century. These were given away as promotional items or sold as collectibles. The paper was artificially aged and the printing was photocopied from genuine bills.
If you can't find the word "COPY" or the name of a printing company on the bill, you can have it examined in person by a currency dealer, but please be prepared for bad news.
