What is the value of a 1935 F US 1 dollar silver certificate?
1935 F
A 1935 F silver certificate in circulated condition is worth about $2.00
A nice crisp uncirculated one is worth about $7.00
Despite its date, the "F" series letter indicates your bill was printed in the early to mid 1950s. 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.
Because of that, 1935 F $1 silver certificates are common among collectors.
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 in 1957, so it's perfectly normal if it's not on the back of a 1935-F bill.
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.
About $1.25 at retail. A dealer will pay face value.
Whose face is on the US 100 dollar bill?
Beginning in 1928, the US $100 bill featured US statesman, inventor, and diplomat Benjamin Franklin on the obverse of the $100 bill. On the reverse of the banknote is an image of Independence Hall. The portrait was changed and enlarged for the series 1996 and later bills.
Franklin is one of two people on current US bills who never served as president. The other is Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. He was the first Secretary of the Treasury.
(Sir Robert Borden is on the Canadian $100 bill.)

Is there a one million dollar bill?
There is no official 1 million dollar note ever produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
There are nonnegotiable platinum certificates known as a "One Million Dollar Special Issue." They are not official United States currency notes manufactured by the BEP and are not legal tender or redeemable by the Department of the Treasury.
There are however many fake "million dollar bills" that can be bought in magic shops and novelty stores. They're worth about as much as the paper they're printed on.
How much is a 1941 Military issued 1 dollar bill worth?
There were so many of these printed that in circulated condition its value is a dollar or less.
Who determines whose portrait is used on US dollar bills?
From The United States Department of the Treasury's website:
"As with our nation's coinage, the Secretary of the Treasury usually selects the designs shown on United States currency. Unless specified by an Act of Congress, the Secretary generally has the final approval. This is done with the advice of Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) officials. In addition, the Commission on Fine Arts reviews all of the designs.
The law prohibits portraits of living persons from appearing on Government Securities. Therefore, the portraits on our currency notes are of deceased persons whose places in history the American people know well.
The basic face and back designs of all denominations of our paper currency in circulation today were selected in 1928, although they were modified to improve security against counterfeiting starting in 1996. A committee appointed to study such matters made those choices. The only exception is the reverse design of the one-dollar bill. Unfortunately, however, our records do not suggest why certain Presidents and statesmen were chosen for specific denominations."
Note that these regulations do NOT require that only presidents appear on US bills; the only restriction is that no living person can be shown. In the past many other individuals including inventors, Native American leaders, cabinet members and even First Lady Martha Washington have been depicted.
United States currency notes now in production bear the following portraits:
- George Washington on the $1 bill
- Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill
- Abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill
- Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill
- Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill
- Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill
- Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill
There are also several denominations of currency notes that are no longer produced. These include:
- William McKinley on the $500 bill
- Grover Cleveland on the $1,000 bill
- James Madison on the $5,000 bill
- Salmon P. Chase on the $10,000 bill
- Woodrow W. Wilson on the $100,000 note.
Three of the above were never President of the US:
- Benjamin Franklin was never President of The United States and his face is on the $100 bill. However, he was one of the "Founding Fathers", an Ambassador to France and a very significant figure in American history.
- Alexander Hamilton was never President of The United States, but his face is on the $10 bill. He was the first Secretary of the Treasury. He was ineligible to be the President because he was born on the Caribbean island of Nevis.
- Salmon P. Chase was never President of The United States, but he was a U.S. Senator, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and a Secretary of the Treasury.
What is the value of a 2 dollar bill?
That depends on the year the bill was made in and the condition it is in.
What is the value of a 1950 US 50-dollar bill?
It depends on the bill's condition and series. The series is a letter that may or may not appear next to the date 1950. The printed year is often kept the same for a particular design regardless of the actual year of issue, while the series letter is changed following the appointment of a new Treasurer (or much less often, Treasury Secretary). $50 notes for 1950 were issued in 6 series - no letter, and 1950A through 1950E. E-series notes can be worth $25 to $50 above face value if circulated, more if crisp uncirculated. The other 5 series are worth less, anywhere from face value to $25 above; again, more if crisp uncirculated. The demand for these is much less than the supply. Unless yours is an absolute gem crisp uncirculated note, you're not going to get any premium for it. If it's a gem, you might get $70-$80 if you can find an interested buyer.
What is the value of a 1934 five dollar silver certificate with an orange seal?
A 1934 five dollar silver certificate in good condition is worth $33.00.
What is the value of a Series 1957A dollar bill?
The 1957 series of silver certificates was the last printed before replacement with Federal Reserve Notes in 1963. A lot were printed and a lot were saved, so they are still fairly common in collections. In normal circulated condition, a 1957 series bill is worth at most $2 retail. If the bill is uncirculated - crisp and unfolded - it would retail for maybe double that amount. Of course, a dealer would pay less than retail, so my advice would be to go to a hobby shop, buy a plastic holder designed for bills, and simply save it as a conversation piece. Please see the Related Links for additional information.
What is the value of a series of 1934A ten dollar bill?
It looks like it doesn't make much difference whose signatures are on this partular issue or which federal reserve bank issued it. Uncirculated retail values range from $45 to $70 and the average dealer buy price for a circulated example is $12. The only exception is the one with a brown seal and "HAWAII" overprinted on both sides. That one could be worth $300.
If it has a green seal, $12.-$20. depending on how worn it is
If it has a blue seal, $13.-$30.

What is the value of a two dollar Federal Reserve Note?
Pretty much exactly $2.00, but then, that's just an estimate.
Yup!If it's a green-seal Federal Reserve Note it was printed in 1976 or later, meaning it's a current-issue bill with no added value. Feel free to spend it.What is the value of an 1899 paper dollar bill?
Values vary depending on the signatures and the location of "Series of 1899". My reference suggests retail prices from $22 to $40 for bills that are in Good condition and $225 to $300 for Uncirculated examples.
What is the value of a 1950 five dollar bill?
Despite the series date, 1950 $5s are not particularly valuable. Most are only worth face value in circulated condition. If they show very little wear, they might retail for 7 or 8 bucks. The only exception is a bill without a small series letter next to the date; these retail in the $7 to $12 range.
Why doesn't the bill have In God We Trust?That motto wasn't added to paper money until the late 1950s and early 1960s, mainly due to Cold War fears of "godless Communism"
