B was the highest series letter for 1957 $1 silver certificates. The series letter is below the date - it may be blank, 'A', or 'B'.

In any case, regardless of the series letter all 1957 $1 silver certificates are common among collectors. In average condition they typically retail for $1.50 to $2.00.

Probably not. Look for the word COPY or REPLICA worked into the design, usually on the back. That's required on all legitimate replica bills and coins made since 1973. Of course if your bill is older than that or an outright counterfeit, it won't be there!

If you can't find anything definite you should have the bill examined in person by a reputable dealer or appraiser. Very few $10,000 bills were ever printed and the last ones were issued in the 1940s (series date 1934) so it's highly unlikely anyone except a wealthy collector or museum would have a genuine one today.

As of 05/2014 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $45 to $75 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $275

The bill is one of a special series of notes printed during WWII for use in combat zones and threatened regions. Bills for use in Hawaii had the territory name in large letters on both sides as well as having brown seals instead of blue or green. The distinctive appearance made it easy to declare them worthless if they fell into enemy hands.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.

There were 3 major types of $5 bill printed during the 1950s. Please post a new, separate question that includes:

> The bill's date

> What letter, if any, is next to or under the date

> The seal color - green, blue, or red

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any bills dated 1941. 1935 would be the nearest date for a blue-seal $1 bill.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any $50 Federal Reserve Notes dated 1923. Your bill may be dated 1928.

There were no series letters on any 1929 US bills. You may be referring instead to the Federal Reserve District letter; "G" indicates your bill was distributed by the Chicago district.

There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1929 US 100 dollar Federal Reserve Note?"

I'm not able to find a listing for a federally-issued $20 bill with that date. Before the Federal Reserve was established, it was common for private banks and other institutions to issue bills under federal charter so you may have one of those. Please post a new question with more details including any bank name and a description of the images on the bill. You can use the Discussion area to add more information if the question is too long.

Your bill is most likely a 1905 $20 gold certificate. If correct, please see the question "What is the value of a 1905 US $20 gold certificate?" for more information.

1977 A $1 bills are very common among collectors. As of 05/2015 a circulated one has no extra value. Uncirculated, it might retail for all of $1.25.

The error you have is called a "gutter fold". While many printing errors can be worth hundreds, gutter folds are relatively common and worth $30 to $60 depending on the bill's condition.

FWIW, most likely the paper was already folded before the bill was printed. Blocks of bills are printed on plate presses which means the chances of a fold happening at the time of printing are quite low.

What you have is an error called a "gutter fold". It happens when there's a fold in the sheet of paper as it enters the printing press.

Without seeing it in person it's difficult to estimate a value, but many gutter folds retail in the range of $35 to $65.

No US $2 bills were printed with yellow seals. However, up till 1963 most were issued as US Notes with red seals and in the 19th century some $2 bills had brown seals. Either of these could have changed color due to age or exposure to chemicals.

Since 1971 all US paper money has been issued through the Federal Reserve System. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at facilities in Washington DC and Fort Worth TX.

Current $1 and $2 bills as well as older higher-denomination bills show the name of the Federal Reserve District that distributed them. Many people assume that the bills are actually printed in those districts, but in fact the 2 BEP facilities simply make separate printings for each one.

All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968. But the notes are still legal tender.

Depends on how old it is. A very old bill might be sold to a collector for a lot of money. However, it is otherwise only worth $10.

It depends on why it's gold-colored. If it's a modern bill, it simply may have been exposed to chemicals; even some laundry detergents and bleaches have been known to change bills' colors. If it's older than that please post a new, separate question with the bill's date (its serial number isn't needed though).

Please check again and post a new question. The US did not issue any $5 bills with that date.

There were no series letters on 1988 US $100 bills. You may be looking at the Federal Reserve District letter. The series letter, if any, on US bills is next to the date.

That said, modern-date $100 bills are generally only worth face value.

US bills are printed in at least 3 separate stages, so the error you describe could happen if a set of bills accidentally fails to go through one of the phases or is flipped over so the seal is printed on the other side.

In any case these are considered to be major printing errors and could be worth several times face value. You'll need to check with an expert on paper money who can look at your bill in person for a more specific valuation.

If it's legit (meaning it's confederate) then you got some money comin. All real confederate money is rare. Rare enoungh to inflate their worth 3000% sometimes.

Many imitation Confederate notes were made, and made to look old. Most will have 'Facsimile' in small print on the bottom (usually) of one side.

No. Torn bills can only be redeemed if at least 2/3 of the bill is intact, including one of the serial numbers. That's to prevent someone from tearing them into several pieces and getting a full new bill in return for each piece.
