US Banknotes

The composition of the bill was basically the same then as it is now, though it lacks modern security features. If tested with a pen, it should turn whatever color it's supposed to for a genuine note.

One Dollar

No. IIRC, they haven't been in print since the 1930s.

No US bill that size has ever been printed. $100,000 is the largest bill ever printed, they were only printed for less than a month from December 1934 to January 1935, and were used for internal transactions between Federal Reserve banks.The largest note for public usage was $10,000, and those have been printed since 1934. The largest note printed in 1995 was $100. No, it does not expire.

no. they have never prinited that

Nonexistent. There has never been a 1 million Dollar Federal Reserve Note.

Each bill is 0.0043 inches (0.11 mm) thick, and there are 10 million $100 bills in $1 billion. So 10 million bills stacked up would make a stack 43,000 inches -- or about 2/3 mile -- high.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. US $5 bills haven't had red seals since 1963, the last year they were printed as United States Notes. The Treasury seal on a 2013 bill should be green and the bill's background should be purple and gray.

If the seal is in fact green and is on the left side of the bill, please look to see if any other parts of the design are misplaced and/or upside down. If so, you should have your bill inspected in person by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in currency errors. Depending on the type of error the bill could potentially retail for a couple of hundred dollars, but it's not possible to say anything specific without seeing the bill.

Real

Please check your bill again. Blue ink would indicate that your bill is a silver certificate; the last $5 silver certificates were dated 1953. A 2009 bill should state that it's a Federal Reserve Note.

Two possibilities are:

(1) Many 2006-series and all 2009-series $5 bills have a purple background. It's not really blue but could be close enough depending on wear and color interpretation.

(2) The bill could have accidentally been left in a pants pocket and washed. Some detergents with anti-yellowing agents have been known to react with the green ink used on parts of US bills, leaving behind more of the ink's blue component.

If you have four of them, then the set is worth $80.

There have been hundreds of fake 3 dollar bills with different portraits- and to the best of my knowledge, one REAL series of $3 bills. The REAL bills were bank notes issued by one bank. The St. Nicholas Savings Bank of New York. Yep- the REAL 3 dollar bills had a portrait of Santa Claus- also known as St. Nicholas.

In decent condition, it has a collector value of a few dollars.

The U.S. no longer prints any bills larger than $100. Larger denominations since removed from circulation were for $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000. There was also such a thing as a $100,000 bill, but that was for large payments between government agencies rather than public use.

There is not currently, nor has there ever been a U.S. $1,000,000 bill.

Alexander Hamilton was shot in a duel by Aaron Burr, and died on July 12, 1804.

Your bill was distributed by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco but like all US bills at that time, it was printed in Washington DC.

Please see the Related Question for details about prices and conditions.

There really aren't any special varieties or other differences on 1935 D $1 bills. The only 1935 $1 SC's that are distinctive would be in the 1935 A series; in addition to standard bills there are the following varieties:

> With a blue or red "R" or "S", indicating an experimental paper composition.

> With a brown seal and HAWAII overprint, used in the islands during WWII

> With a yellow seal and NORTH AFRICA overprint, used in that combat zone during WWII

There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1935 D US 1 dollar silver certificate?"

Your question is far too broad to provide a specific answer. Please post a new and separate question for each date and denomination whose value you're interested in.

To explain, gold and silver certificates were issued in denominations ranging from $1 to $10,000 over a period of 95 years. Some of them are worth only a bit above face value (e.g. 1957 $1 silver certificates, while others (e.g. a number of higher-denomination bills) can be worth $60,000 to $80,000.

Remember, US bills carry a "series" date rather than a printing date. Prior to 1974 the series date was usually changed only when a bill was redesigned. Vinson served as Secretary of the Treasury from July 1945 to July 1946; the 1934 design was used until 1950 so his term was within the range of the 1934 series.

In 1974, the policy was modified to start a new series if a bill's design changes OR a new Secretary of the Treasury is appointed, although there have been a few exceptions.

You'd have to buy it from a dealer or collector. The last $500 bills were printed in the 1940s, and the Federal Reserve System stopped supplying them to banks in 1969.

The bill's price would depend on its date, series, and condition. Bills from the last two series that were put into circulation (1928 and 1934/34A) are relatively affordable, with retail prices ranging from $600-$700 in worn condition to about double those values if only slightly used.

Prices go up considerably for older bills and for uncirculated ones.

The banner across its top and the blue seal indicate it's a silver certificate, a form of paper money that was discontinued in the 1960s.

Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 G US 1 dollar silver certificate?" for detailed information.

Your bill was actually printed in Washington DC, and distributed by the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank.

Please see the related link for values.

All US bills are printed either in Washington or, since 1990, Fort Worth. They carry letters and numbers indicating which Federal Reserve bank distributed them.

If the bill has a green seal it would be a Federal Reserve Note rather than a certificate. Silver certificates had blue seals.
