US Banknotes

We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.

Apparently it is worth $1.00. Color may have changed artificially either by having left it in a pants pocket and run through a washing machine or by it being subjected to a dye color by accident.

From what I've seen there not worth more then face value.

No, million dollar bills have never been produced by the US government. The largest bill ever made by the US government was a 100,000 dollar gold note which was used between 1934 and 1935. The 100,000 Dollar Gold note was never circulated and was only used to transfer large sums between various government departments.

yes there is an owl in the top right corner anda sider in the bottom left corner!

If you hold it up and look at it, it will be a fake. The US never printed a million-dollar note.

There are novelty items that look like $1,000,000 bills but they're intended as jokes.

It depends on how much off-center the cut is. There's normal variation of a couple of millimeters on bills that does not add anything, but a major misalignment can be worth over $200.

P.S. I had to update your question for searching; the term is "misprinted" rather than "miss printed". I think the latter is some kind of newspaper beauty contest winner, LOL!

Please post a new and separate question with a description of the misprint. US bills can have a number of different types of printing errors and each has a different value range.

In anything but perfect uncirculated condition, it is worth $1.

US bills weigh 1 gram. There are approximately 453.59 g in a US pound. So either the answer is $453.

The vast majority of "Confederate" bills are actually replicas printed as souvenirs and novelty items. Check the Related Link for a list of copies and their serial numbers.

Three different dates had "A" series letters. Please check the Related Questions for more information.

Usually, you only need to see and feel the dollar bill to tell if it's genuine. The US bank note is contains 75% cotton and 25% linen special paper. The linen gives extra distinctive stiffness, and the printing's in high quality, so the illustrations on the dollar bills should be sharp and distinct.

Bills over $5 use color-shifting ink for the denomination number in the down-right corner. Hold the bill naturally in front of you then tilt it back and forth to shift the number's color between copper and green or green and black.

If you can do this quickly, you wouldn't have to do the more suspicious way of holding the bill up to the light to check for a thread. To check for the thread which should be in a real dollar bill (if it's at least $2), hold it up to the light. There should be a vertical text line and an image that you wouldn't see without holding it up to the light. Threads glow different colors under UV light, if you happen to have a machine that can shoot UV light.

There isn't one. Due to the inks used and the engraving of the printing plate one of the delegates in the back of the picture got more ink than was ideal. this has caused some people to think that he is Black or Indian but he wasn't. That guy, whose name I do not remember now, was of Norwegian descent. If you find an actual picture of the original painting you will see that he is just as Caucasian as all the others.

When estimating the value of 'paper' monies, the condition, wear and tear of such item, how many were made, is it a "star" note, all have to do with the price. Search out a collectable coin shop in your area or go online in the coin/paper money categories and look for some businesses like Littleton, National Mint Collectors, New York Mint, etc.. These places will help you determine what your item is worth.

In 1922 Peace dollars were struck at all 3 active mints - Philadelphia (no mint mark at the time), Denver ("D") and San Francisco ("S").

See a site such as http://www.coinfacts.com/silver_dollars/peace_dollars/peace_dollars.html for details about all dates and mints.

If you don't know anything about coins, then the first step should be to take the collection to a coin dealer to get an appraisal.

Yes. If the note predates 1976, there will be additional collector value, but the value is determined by condition. A heavily worn old bill won't be worth much above face unless it's a rare series.

500 thousand if you know the right people

Unless your bill was hand-autographed separately, all bills carry facsimiles of the signatures of the Secretary and Treasurer in office at their time of issue.

So many dollar bills are printed each year that they rarely have any extra value unless they are preserved in new, unfolded condition. If yours is from circulation, feel free to spend it on a soda or Sunday paper.

First of all, Jamaica's Currency is Bolivar.

So, 100 Jamaican Bolivars equals to 0.0466 U.S.Dollars.

Yes. In Canada they were taken out of circulation years ago. In the US they were never formally taken out of circulation but since 1969 you can't get one from a bank, so they're effectively no longer in circulation.

If it has a motto on the back (the banner saying in god we trust) then its a fake. If its magnetic its fake. If it has a ridge running all the way around the center of the reeded edge the coin it is fake. If the denticles are not all symetrical its fake. Lastly, a real 1843 silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams and has a diameter of 38.1 mm. Anything other than that is a fake.

The million dollar bill was purely a novelty item, never made by the government. The highest denomination is $100,000.

The US didn't print any bills dated 1937. If your bill is from Canada please see the Related Question.
