What is the value of a 1935 G US 1 dollar silver certificate?
1935 G
1935 G silver certificates were printed in two varieties:
- If it does not have the motto "In God We Trust" on the back, in circulated condition it's worth about $2.25-$3. A nice crisp uncirculated one is worth about $10.
- If it does have the motto, it's a bit less common - $4-$6 circulated, $18-20 uncirculated.
Despite its date, the "G" series letter indicates your bill was printed in the early 1960s. During that time it was the practice to change a series date only when a bill underwent a major redesign, as opposed to the current practice of changing dates when a new Treasury Secretary is appointed.
Blue Ink
Silver certificates typically had blue seals and serial numbers. Other colors were used on some very old bills and on bills printed for use in threatened regions during WWII.
In God We Trust
That motto was first added to $1 bills starting with the 1957 series and was phased in on other series and denominations over the next few years. The 1935 G series was printed during that transitional time which is why some do and some don't have the motto.
Serial Numbers
A bill's serial number is just a counter so including it in a question generally doesn't help to identify it or affect its value. There are collectors who will pay a premium for bills with low or patterned serial numbers; e.g.12345678 or 00000005.
The serial number is almost never a determining factor in a bill's value. Condition, year, series letter, and bank district are far more important.
There are 2 varieties of this bill. Those without the motto In God We Trust are worth about $2.25-$3.; those with the motto on the back are worth $4-$6 depending on condition.

How much is a dollar star note worth?
It depends very much on its date and condition.
Star notes are notes that are printed to re-use the serial number of a bill that was damaged during production, so for something as common as a $1 bill a star note is unlikely to be worth much more than the value of a standard note with the same date UNLESS the bill is either very old and/or in uncirculated condition.

What are the money specifics involving the Federal Reserve Note?
A Federal Reserve note is a monetary instrument that is recognized as currency by the United States and most other countries of the world*. It is "legal tender" in that all payments of debts within the US may be paid with FRN's. It is technically a promissory note issued by the Federal Treasury through the Federal Reserve System, a nominally autonomous agency of the US government, and backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United States. (* The US government, although committed to redeem these notes, has established restrictions on the type and amount of cash transactions by its citizens.) On the Legal Nature of NotesFirstly, the word "note" is defined in the Oxford dictionary in its seventh entry as a "promissory note, written promise to pay, co-signed promissory note, IOU, or note of hand. The real problem with the Federal Reserve Note is that the currency was foisted upon the public without teaching them the ramifications except in abstruse books like "The General Theory of Money, Interest, and Employment". While the public may not be deceived, it must contend with what is created by the hierarchy. The details of the concept of money are not complex, but too many details can cause people to lose interest. Moreover, the note factor means that instead of legalizing a certificate in 1930, the hierarchy legalized debt and took out gold as the specie. "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private" is the legal provision written on the face of the FRN. In other words, the paper was made into "fiat or legal" currency.

When did the dollar bill become national currency?
That's really a multi-part question without a simple answer.
The first federally-issued $1 bills were printed in 1862. They were called United States Notes and were printed to help finance the Civil War.
However as far back as the Revolution in 1776, the US had used some coins and bills denominated in "dollars" but these were unofficial and not standardized. The name came from large silver coins used in Europe that were variously called dalers, talers, thalers, and so on. There were also many other denominations which caused much confusion and hindered commerce. For example people used leftover British money denominated in pounds, shillings, and pence. A further complication was added by the use of coins from Spain's colonies in Central and South America. The size and weight of those Spanish coins became the basis for silver dollars, but they were divided into eighths while US dollars were divided into tenths and hundredths.
The Constitution defined the US Dollar as the country's official currency in 1787, but it took another 5 years to create a coinage system. Coin specifications were standardized by the Coinage Act of 1792. The first cents were minted in 1793 and some other denominations including the first silver dollars were put into circulation in 1794. For the next 70 years American money was almost exclusively issued as coins.

What is the value of a 1928 US 50 dollar bill?
You did not say whether you have a Gold Certificate or a Federal Reserve Note. The latter have green seals and are much more common but are still worth a premium:
If it has a green seal, $65 to $100 retail depending on condition; over $300 if crisp and uncirculated.
If it has a gold seal, $250 to $750
Face value only, unless there is a small letter "E" next to the date. In that case its value would be in the $40 to $60 range (retail)
