What is the value of a US 1 dollar bill with the serial number A 88881224 D?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its date and what letter if any is next to the date.
Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value or help to ID it. Some collectors will pay extra for numbers with a special pattern, e.g. 12345678, or low numbers such as 00000015.
Can you spend a non negotiable dollar bill?
"Non-negotiable" means that the item can't be spent, so the answer is no.
If the bill actually has that wording on it, it's not a real US banknote. There are many fantasy and novelty items that look like US paper money but aren't genuine, and by law they have to carry some wording to indicate they're not real. From time to time people try to spend them anyway, and they usually get in trouble with the law for attempted fraud.
How do you determine a 50 dollar bill?
You hold it up into the light and if you see a line made up of words then its real.
What are some weird things on a US 1 dollar bill?
There's really nothing "weird" about US $1 bills, despite many internet rumors to the contrary, but there are many interesting facts about the design:
- The portrait of Washington on the front is copied from the famous painting by Gilbert Stuart.
- The back design has been essentially unchanged since 1935 except for the addition of the motto "In God We Trust". Congress has blocked any and all efforts to update the design, even modestly.
- The images in circles on either side of the word ONE are the front and back of the Great Seal of the United States.
- The pyramid has 13 steps representing the foundation of the country on the 13 original colonies. It's unfinished, indicating that the US is and always will be a work in progress. The date 1776 appears in Roman numerals at the pyramid's base, representing the country's start that year. The Latin phrase ANNUIT COEPTIS means "He (i.e. God) favours our undertaking", and NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM means "A New Order for the Ages".
- The eagle appears below 13 stars, again representing the 13 colonies. It holds an olive branch in one claw representing the country's desire for peace, while the other holds a set of arrows representing our willingness to defend the nation if necessary.
Many people claim to see other hidden symbols and images in the designs, but all of these have been repeatedly examined and debunked. The (in)famous owl and spider that supposedly lurk in the scrollwork have been checked under a microscope and found to be nothing more than places where the lines come together in a way that confuses our eyes. The human brain is "wired" to see patterns even when none exist, a function called pareidolia by scientists. It's the same ability that leads us to see a man's face or a rabbit in the craters of the moon, or a cloud that looks like a map of Massachusetts.
What is the value of a 1950 G US 20 dollar bill?

Which president is on a 10.00 dollar bill?

What is the value of a US 2 dollar bill with the serial number C9631756A?
A bill's serial number is just a counter so including it in a question generally doesn't help to identify it.
If your bill is dated 1976 or later it's only worth face value. If it's older, please post a new, separate question with the bill's date and whether there is a small letter right next to the date. You don't need to re-copy the serial number.

What years were US 10 dollar bills printed?
The US has printed $10 bills since 1861 and there are well over a hundred different dates, types, and series letters. It's impractical to list them all, but the most common ones of the 20th and 21st centuries by decade include:
- 1922, 1923, 1928, 1929
- 1933, 1934
- 1950, 1953
- 1963, 1969
- 1974, 1977
- 1981, 1985, 1988
- 1990, 1993, 1999
- 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009
- 2013
Of course these are "series dates" which correspond to when a particular type of bill was first issued and not the actual year of printing. Actual printing has occurred essentially every year regardless of the series date.
What does a 1969 US 10 dollar bill look like?
A 1969 $10 bill's design follows the same layout as all other older currency. Alexander Hamilton's picture appears in a small oval frame in the center of the bill's front. The border of the bill features a lot of ornate scrollwork. The back of the bill shows a 1920's view of the Treasury Building. The bill's colors are limited to green and black. The only major anti-counterfeiting feature is the presence of small red and blue fibers embedded in the bill's paper.
About the car
Many people have asked about the car shown on the back of older $10 bills. While its design somewhat resembles a mid-1920s Hupmobile (a long-gone brand) the bill's designers took pains to incorporate generic elements so that the Treasury couldn't be accused of favoring a particular manufacturer.
As time passed the car became more and more of an anachronism and was eventually removed from the bills' reverse.
What is the value of a 1983 US 2 dollar bill?
The US didn't print any $2 bills dated 1983. Please check again and post a new, separate question.
Why is the dollar sign in front of the number?
The dollar sign is to tell the reader that the number that follows in a monetary number. It is a writing convention that people use to separate pure numbers from numbers that are dollars and cents.
It is not a consistent convention in that we write $10 and read it as ten dollars instead of dollars ten, but we write 10¢ and read it as it is written ten cents.
Consistent or not, it is a convention that is followed here in the United States anyway.
If the background of of George Washington's picture is silver in a silver certificate?
If a bill is a silver certificate it will have those words in the banner across the top of the bill's front. The color isn't what matters, although most silver certificates from 1923 to 1957 can be identified by the use of blue ink for the seal and serial numbers.
Some private companies take ordinary bills, layer them with a tiny amount of silver or gold, and sell them at inflated prices as "collectibles". Sometimes people end up spending them after they find out they're bad investments; it causes a lot of confusion when they show up in change.
It's worth about $20
What is the value of a US 10 dollar bill with a blue seal?
The blue seal indicates your bill is a silver certificate, a form of paper money discontinued in the 1960s. $10 silver certificates were issued for many years so lease post a new and separate question with the bill's date, and whether there's a small letter next to / under the date. That information is important when determining a value. You don't need to include the serial number, though.
What is the value of a 1963 US silver certificate with a red seal?
Please check your bill again. The last silver certificates were $1 bills dated 1957 and all of them had blue seals. The red seal indicates that it should have the words United States Note across the top.

Does the US still make any paper money over a 100 dollar bill?
No. At this time the US only prints bills in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.
Prior to 1945 there were also $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills printed for circulation, although they didn't get a lot of use because those were huge amounts of money at the time. In 1969 the government stopped distributing those bills through banks in an effort to combat organized crime, but they were never officially withdrawn or demonetized.
In 1934 and 1935 the government also issued a limited number of $100,000 bills but these were only for transferring money within the Federal Reserve System and not for public use.
