What 1934 US coins don't say in god you trust?
As you can see from your pocket change, NO coins say "In God YOU Trust", the motto is "In God WE Trust".
In 1934 the motto appeared on all denominations except nickels. It was added to the nickel in 1938, when the new Jefferson design was introduced.
In fact, the motto didn't appear on any US coins for about 70 years. During the Civil War it was put on the 2¢ coin, and gradually was added to other denominations over the years.
Can you spend a sheet of US two-dollar bills?
Only if they're cut apart. But doing that destroys the collector value of the sheet, so why do that? It's like spending a proof coin at face value.
What are the symbols on the dollar bill?
The obverse and reverse of The Great Seal of the United States of America.

How much is a american revolution bicentennial gold coin 1972?
8-2-11>>> The Bicentennial was in 1976 not 1972, if the piece is gold (or plated) and dated 1972 it is NOT a US Mint product. The Mint did not strike any modern gold coins until 1984.
How much is 100 yuz turk lirasi worth in America?
I'm assuming you mean 100 Turkish Lira. The standard abbreviation for Turkish Lira is TRY. Tip: You can convert most currencies by doing a Google search using the right terms. I typed in "100 TRY in USD". (USD being United States Dollars, in case it wasn't obvious.)
The answer I got back was 100 Turkish liras = 81.3008 U.S. dollars
Please note that exchange rates can fluctuate wildly and that currency exchanges typically take a percentage to complete the transaction. In 2005 Turkey changed from Old Turkish Lira to New Turkish Lira or YTL. One million Old TL = one YTL. Old TL are still legal tender until 2016.
Old TL notes may now be exchanged for YTL only at Turkish Central Bank (TC Merkez Bankasi) offices or, in the absence of a Central Bank office, at a TC Ziraat Bankasi office, until December 31, 2016.
How do you tell the age of a dollar bill?
The closest you can come to telling the actual age of any US bill is by looking at the Series date on the front. This isn't the actual year the bill was printed, but rather what year the full plate was approved. A series year typically changes only when a major design change is implemented, such as the recent redesigns of the $5-$100 bills, or when the Treasurer's name changes; a new Secretary of the Treasury only rates a letter appended to the series year. Thus a Series 1999 dollar bill may have been printed in 2001.
Kennedy dollar with 4 elevens What does the fourth 11 on the K dollar bill with 11's mean?
The numbers and letters on so-called "Kennedy bills" are a strange but COMPLETELY unintentional coincidence that's spawned all sorts of conspiracy theories.
The coincidence is that Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963; bills distributed by the Dallas Federal Reserve District carry the district codes 11 and K, which some people have taken to mean November (the 11th month) and Kennedy.
In fact, the Dallas district started using those codes in 1914, three years before JFK was even born, and continues to use them to the present day. The coincidence is odd, but it's still nothing but a coincidence.
Why is Athena's owl on the US 1 dollar bill?
Despite persistent internet speculation, an owl is NOTpart of the design of the $1 bill. There's a small place where the scrollwork lines come together to make an image that looks somewhat like an owl to the naked eye, but under magnification the image turns out to be nothing more than some lines that meet randomly.
The supposed "owl" and "spider" on the $1 bill are examples of a psychological phenomenon called Pareidolia. The human brain has evolved to look for patterns and ordering in the natural surroundings. Among other things we tend to look for familiar "anchors" that help us make sense of unfamiliar circumstances. That ability developed in part as a survival skill in prehistoric times.
The term Pareidolia describes what happens when there isn't any actual order or pattern, but the brain imposes one anyway. The most common example is the game of looking for "pictures" in clouds; other examples include hearing pop tunes in bird calls or seeing the Man in the Moon. The supposed owl and spider are similar cases - the ink blobs don't really form an animal but they're close enough that the brain says "AHA! Animal !"
Is the Kennedy dollar bill with the 11's on them worth saving?
Only as a curio, because there's no official "Kennedy dollar bill".
An urban legend / conspiracy theory has grown up surrounding a strange coincidence in the numbering of some $1 bills in the 1963 series, but it has no factual basis. The coincidence is that bills distributed through the Federal Reserve District of Dallas (the city where he was assassinated) carry not only the year 1963 (the year of the assassination), the district code number 11 (the month) and the code letter K (Kennedy's initial).
The reality is that
- Other denominations were also printed in the 1963 series, and all were in circulation months before November.
- The Dallas district started using those codes in 1914, three years before JFK was even born, and continues to use them to the present day.
Is President marshall on the 500.00 dollar bill?
This is unlikely, since there never was a President Marshall.
Who was the only person who was on a us bill but was not a us president?
The question's not correct. Modern US bills (since 1928) have featured portraits of 3 people who were never president:
Alexander Hamilton, $10
Ben Franklin, $100
Salmon P. Chase, $10000 (no longer in use)
Wiki.com says 30 pieces of silver equals 19.20. Or .64 each. 1100 X .64 = 704.00.
Is there a US five thousand dollar bill?
Banks have not been permitted to distribute them since 1969. The US government issued $5,000 bills at four different points in history, but denominations over $100 were discontinued from general circulation in 1969. They were never officially withdrawn so the most recent Federal Reserve Note (2 issues, 1934) is still legal tender, but any that are turned in at a bank are sent back to the Treasury for destruction.

What is a 1934 20.00 bill worth?
You need to know whether it has a series letter. That's a small letter next to the date, or it may not have one.
Then check the link below for values based on the bill's date and letter.
Is an 1863 state of louisiana 100 dollar bill spendable in a store?
No, for several reasons:
First, only currency issued by the US government is currently legal tender. State-issued bills haven't been valid for over a century.
Second, an 1863 Louisiana bill was printed under the Confederacy rather than the Union, and Confederate bills ceased to be legal when the Civil War ended.
Third and most importantly, about 99% of all "Confederate" bills are replicas, not the real thing.
What was the original purpose for circulating the two-dollar bill?
The $2 note was intended to "fill in the blanks" between $1 and $5 notes. $1 bills make up over half of the bills printed, so anything that reduces that demand is clearly an advantage. However, about 120 years ago the common betting amount at race tracks was $2 and the bill became very commonly used there. In the puritanical Victorian era other people felt that the denomination was somehow symbolic of the corruption associated with gambling, so they shied away from spending it. To this day some superstitious people think that $2 bills are somehow "unlucky" and refuse to touch them!!
By now the $2 bill would be a major help in commerce but traditionally we Americans are very slow to change our habits. For instance, the government also introduced a 2¢ piece to help reduce the demand for pennies but people refused to spend it because it was "different", so it was dropped after only a decade.
For what it's worth, many other countries (Canada, Australia, England, EU) have successfully circulated 2-cent coins and/or 2-dollar bills (or their local equivalents) with no public opposition, which I guess says something about national cultures.
Compounded interest follows a relatively straightforward formula: P(1+r)^t Where: P = Principal amount r = rate of return t = time elapsed In this case, we know all of this information: P = $100 r = 4% = 0.04 t = 1993 - 1880 = 113 years So we can calculate using the formula above: P(1+r)^t 100(1 + 0.04)^113 = 100(1.04)^113 = 100(84.0945) = 8409.45 Therefore, at a rate of 4%, the granddaughters claim they are owed $8409.45. If the rate is 8%, we repeat the same steps as follows: P(1+r)^t 100(1 + 0.08)^113 = 100(1.08)^113 = 100(5982.52) = 598252.29 Therefore, at a rate of 8%, the granddaughters claim they are owed $598,252.29 This difference in rates is actually meant to show how when interest is compounded, it's rate of growth is exponential. In this example, you can see that the growth rate at 8% is far more than double the growth rate at 4%. I hope this helps you understand the concept of compounded interest :)
Probably not enough to make a significant difference in your standard of living, but it sounds like an error that could be worth as much as $200 (retail) if the note is uncirculated and even a lower grade would have some value. You should let a dealer or experienced collector look at it.
What is a San Francisco bank Note?
It's a bill that was printed for distribution by the San Francisco Federal Reserve District.
To explain in more detail, the US Federal Reserve system (the central bank) has 12 different administrative districts with headquarters in a major city of each district (e.g. Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, etc.). One of the many responsibilities of each district is to distribute bills (but not coins - that's the job of the Mint) to banks as necessary. When bills are needed, the district orders them from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, just like you'd order clothes from a catalog or store. Facilities in Washington and Fort Worth then print bills with an indicator letter corresponding to the district that ordered them; e.g. A for Boston, B for New York, C for Philadelphia, up to L for San Francisco.
Why is the dollar bill so cheap?
If you mean cheap in purchasing power, it's due to inflation over long periods of time. As prices have risen the amount each dollar (or pound, euro, yen, etc.) can buy becomes less. There are lots of causes for inflation and it would take pages to explain at even a high level.
If you mean why is it such a low denomination bill, it's because the US is pretty much the only industrialized country that hasn't replaced its $1 and $2 bills (or their equivalents) with coins. There are a lot of reasons for that - Americans' resistance to changing anything familiar, a lot of politics, lobbying by Crane Paper, and so on come to mind.
What is a nineteen hundred and twenty two us ten dollar bill worth?
If it says "Gold certificate" its value ranges from $85 if worn to $200 if nearly new.
