What is the value of a 1934 J US 20 dollar bill?
The highest series letter for 1934 $20 bills was D. You may be looking at the Federal Reserve District letter rather than the series letter - the series letter is by the date. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 20 dollar bill?"
What is the value of a 1969 US 10 dollar bill?

Will a bank replace a 0ne dollar bill if torn in may pieces?
A bank will only replace a bill if it is more than 50% intact with at least two corners as part of that intact piece.
What is the value of a 1996 US 100 dollar bill?
It's too new to have any special value.
Serial NumbersIt's normally not necessary to provide a bill's serial number. Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value. Some collectors will pay extra for numbers with a special pattern, e.g. 12345678, or low numbers such as 00000015.When did the US stop making 20 dollar silver certificates?
The last $20 silver certificates were issued in the 1891 series.
While all denominations from $1 to $1000 were printed at different times during the 19th century, only $1, $5, and $10 silver certificates were printed in the 20th century. Production of $5 and $10 silver certificates ended with the 1953 series, and $1 silver certificates ended with the 1957 series. At that time series dates were rarely changed, so silver certificates were actually printed into the 1960s with those same years on them but different letters.
What is the value of a 1928 US 20 dollar bill with a green seal?
The green seal indicates that your bill is a Federal Reserve Note.
Check to see if there's a small letter next to the date, and look for the name of the Federal Reserve District inside the seal with a large capital letter. Approximate values as of 01/2012 are:
No letter, Richmond District: $40 to $65 in average condition, $100 or more uncirculated.
No letter, any other district: $22 to $45 / $70
"A", Kansas City District: $45 to $95 / $275
"A", any other district: $22 to $45 / $70
"B", Atlanta District: $4 to $65 / $175
"B", any other district: $22 to $45 / $70
"C", Chicago District: $175 to $500 / $1800
"C", San Francisco District: $350 to $1000 / $3500
It's an ordinary bill that was altered by adding the dolphin image. It wasn't done by the Treasury, so the bill is considered by collectors to be in effect "damaged goods" with no added value.
What is the value of a 1934 A US 20 dollar bill stamped HAWAII?
As of 8/2010, uncirculated notes fetch $2000. Tack off 15%-20% per each fold, and marks on a circulated bill.
During WWII special $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills were printed for use in Hawaii. They had the HAWAII overprint and brown seals to distinguish them from other bills so they could be quickly declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.
What is the value of a G series US 100 dollar bill?
"E" is the highest series letter on any US $100 bill, and that was only for the 1950 series. You may be referring to the Federal Reserve District letter instead. The series letter, if any, on US bills is next to the date.
In most cases a bill's date and series letter are more important than the district that distributed it. Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with those two pieces of information.

- There were no "D" series letters on 1929 bills.
What is the value of a 5 dollar bill from 1935?
The only U.S. bills with a 1935 date are $1 blue-seal silver certificates.
Please check your bill and post a new, separate question with the corrected date. Also include the seal color and whether there is a small letter next to the date.
You don't need to copy the serial number - it doesn't help to ID a bill.
Many bills were printed with the date 1934, and several denominations were issued in 1953, so perhaps your bill has one of those two dates.
What is the value of a 1930 E US 10 dollar bill?
Please check again and post a new question. The US didn't print any $10 bills dated 1930.
What is the value of 1934 E US 10 dollar bill?
D is the highest series letter for 1934 US $10 bills. If the "E" is inside the Federal Reserve seal, it's the district letter and not a series letter. The series letter if any is next to the date.
Please check your bill again and post a new question. Include whether the bill is a blue-seal silver certificate or a green-seal Federal Reserve Note because they have different values.
What is the value of a 1971 US 2 dollar bill?
The US didn't print any $2 bills dated 1971. Please check again and post a new question.
What is the value of a 1928 G US Funny Back silver certificate?
Please check your bill again. "E" is the highest series letter for 1928 $1 bills. 1935 is the only date that extended to G, and these have the standard Great Seal reverse, not the much-scorned "funny back" design that lasted from 1928 to 1934.
What is the value of a 1934 100 dollar bill from the San Francisco Reserve?
To clear things up, the bill was distributed through the San Francisco Federal Reserve District. There's no agency called the "San Francisco Reserve". In addition at that time all bills were printed in Washington. Different sets were (and still are) printed for each Federal Reserve District as demand warrants but there aren't separate printing facilities for each one.
There's more information about its value at the Related Question.
What is the value of a 1913 New York Federal Reserve note?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question including its denomination and seal color. The serial number isn't needed, however.
How much is a 2005 2 dollar bill in 22kt gold worth?
For those of you in doubt, there were $2 bills made of embossed 22KT Gold and Silver that are legal tender. In each year of issue there were only 5000 made. Recent auctions of these bills including certificate are selling for roughly $200. The major problem with these bills is in how they are stored. Any pressure and the embossing is harmed, any bending is permanent. They are quite odd as they are large and thick, as thick as construction paper and just as stiff. Finding pristine specimens becomes more difficult with age as most people stacked them flat and their own weight ruins them over time. They must be stored on end or edge without any pressure applied. They cannot be handled with bare hands at all. It is also a true statement that if you used these bills to make purchases they are only worth face value. At least some of the issue versions are 1886 Silver Certificate copies and are actual Silver Certificates. This should help clear up any crass opinions and malicious statements or malevolent accusations that these bills do not exist in reality. I would know, I have twenty of them total.
CorrectionAccording to the US Treasury all such "bills" are privately-issued items. There were NO genuine 2005-dated US $2 bills printed, only 2006, and these were standard paper Federal Reserve Notes with green seals.Numerous private companies take ordinary bills, layer them with silver and/or gold, and sell them as "collectibles", although they have little value outside of the novelty market. The Treasury - and most currency collectors - consider them to be altered items.
Other companies make replicas in precious metals. These are worth at least as much as their metal content and so can be sold or traded as bullion. They're not genuine bills and cannot be spent legally but in any case doing that would usually be foolish because most have more, possibly a lot more, than $2 worth of metal.
Without knowing the bills' date and series letter, it's impossible to estimate a value. Please post a new, separate question with that information. The series letter, if any, is a small letter next to the date.
The fact that the serial numbers are consecutive doesn't add much to their value nor does the star indicating these are replacement notes. However depending on the date and series, those conditions combined with the fact that the bills are uncirculated could add to their collectability.
