Serial Numbers
A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.
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.

As opposed to a fake one? That's unlikely because a $2 bill is too low a denomination to be worth counterfeiting. In any case, Series 2003 $2 bills are uncommon but not rare; an uncirculated one might retail for only $2.50 as of 07/2010.
Why was the 2 dollar bill created?
The same reason all the others were made. Two dollar bills have never been discontinued but since they are so seldom used it may seem so.
People don't use them for a number of reasons. Due to low usage, there is no slot in a cash register for them making them unpopular with merchants. Some people think they're rare and hoard them, even though hundreds of millions have been printed. Incredibly, in some parts of the country there's a persistent myth that the bills are associated with crime, or are themselves "evil".
The last run of $2 bills was the 2009 series. Because of the lack of use the Treasury only issues a new run of bills when the current supply diminishes.
