What is the value of 5 uncirculated 100 dollar bills in sequential order Series 1974?
Probably about US$800-$1000 for the set, although a bit less if from the New York ("B") or Chicago ("G") Federal Reserve branches.
What the value of a 1934 US 3 dollar bill?
The US never issued a $3 bill. The only $3 denomination was a coin made in the mid-19th century.
What is 12mm in actual dollars?
This is a vague question, since it does not tell the condition of the money, the denomination, nor how tightly the bills are packed.
What is the value of a US 5 dollar bill?
Much more information is needed.
Please post a new question with the bill's date, what letter if any is next to the date, and what color ink was used for the seal and serial numbers.
Note that you don't have to copy the actual serial number, just note its color.
What is the value of a 100.00 bill serial number FL 0000047 C?
While serial numbers rarely affect a bill's value, the fact that yours has such a low number would make it of interest to collectors. Auction prices for gem uncirculated bills with 2-digit numbers are in the $400+ range, less if the bill is worn.
How can you tell if a bill is a silver certificate?
Bills printed from 1928 till 1957 (the last series year) will have the words Silver Certificate printed across the top of the bill's front. In most but not all cases, the seal and serial numbers will be printed in blue ink. Some special WWII bills may have brown or yellow seals.
Older (pre-1928) bills may be more difficult to identify. Some will say Silver Certificate, but others may use words such as "5 silver dollars" or "one dollar in silver coins", etc.
What is the value of a 1947 US 2 dollar silver certificate?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any bills dated 1947 and the last $2 silver certificates were issued in 1899. All $2 bills from 1928 to 1963 were United States Notes.
What is the value of a 1953 b series 2 dollar bill with a red seal?
Depending on the condition of the $2 1953-B United States two dollar bill Jefferson red seal USN can range anywhere from 19$ - 30$. per bill.
What is the value of a silver certificate if it has a picture of a famous person?
Your question isn't entirely clear, but if you mean that the portrait has a picture of someone like Elvis Presley, G. W. Bush, Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, .... , it's one of two things:
- A genuine bill that was altered by placing a picture over the usual portrait of Washington, Lincoln, or Hamilton
- A photocopy that was manipulated on a computer to add the new picture.
If you have the first type, the picture may be removable. If so, the bill is worth whatever collector value a normal silver certificate carries for that date, series letter, and denomination. If the picture is permanently attached the bill is considered to be damaged and has no collector value.
If you have the second type, it has little or no value except as a novelty item.

Where is the seal color located on Federal Reserve notes?
The question should really be "where is the seal?"; then you can determine its color!
Federal Reserve notes actually have two seals; the one whose color is important is the Treasury seal. It usually appears on the right side of a bill underneath the large letters that spell the bill's denomination. The seal on the other side is the Federal Reserve seal and is almost always black. The Treasury seal appears on all small-size bills regardless of type, but only Federal Reserve Notes of course have a Federal Reserve seal.
Treasury seal colors were standardized starting with the 1928 series:
- Green = Federal Reserve note (the only type of bill currently printed)
- Red = United States note
- Blue = Silver certificate
- Gold = Gold certificate
- Brown = National Currency notes; special WWII bills printed for use in Hawaii
- Yellow = special WWII bills printed for use in North Africa
What is the value of a 1935 US 1 dollar bill with a motto but not a letter G?
The motto "In God We Trust" also appeared on 1935-series $1 bills with an "H" series letter as well as "G".
Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 H US 1 dollar silver certificate?" for more information.
How can you tell if a 1950 US 100 dollar bill is real?
Bills printed before 1990 have essentially no high-tech anticounterfeiting features. Things like watermarks, security strips, and so on weren't introduced until the series that started in that decade. About the best you can do at home would be the following:
> Look for tiny blue and red fibers embedded in the paper. These are tiny bits of very fine thread that were mixed in with the paper because they're difficult for a counterfeiter to reproduce.
> Check the teeth (points) around the Treasury Seal. They should be sharp and evenly spaced.
> Look closely at the engraving of Ben Franklin's face. Again, the lines should be sharp and clear. The image should have a certain amount of apparent depth to it.
Is a 1918 series 10000 currency note worth anything?

What does a stack of 60 million American dollars look like?
Quite amazing: the stack of 60 million 1-dollar bills would be 4.07 miles (6.55km) high! Each US banknote measures 0.11mm thick when new.
Are 1995 and 1999 US dollar bills still legal tender?
Yes. The US has never withdrawn or demonetized any bills except for gold certificates.
1995 and 1999 bills are sufficiently new that some of them remain in circulation.
When did e pluribus unum become novus ordo seclorum on the dollar bill?
It didn't. The two mottoes are completely separate. Novus ordo seclorum means "a new order of the ages" and is part of the Great Seal of the United States. E Pluribus Unum means "From many, one" and appears on coins as well as some newer-design bills.
Is there such thing as a hundred thousand dollar bill?
Yes. The US printed several thousand $100,000 bills in 1934 and 1935. They were never put into circulation, but were used for moving funds within the Federal Reserve System in the days before electronic transfers became possible.
What is the value of a 1986 US 1 dollar silver certificate?
Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't print any $1 bills dated 1986, and the last $1 silver certificates were in the 1957 series. All $1 bills printed since 1963 are Federal Reserve Notes, as can be seen from the banner across the top of the bill's front.
