US Banknotes

Ulysses S. Grant

The last US $500 bills were dated 1934. Please check again and post a new question.

As of 03/2015, 100 to 105 dollars if circulated. A nice crisp one might sell for as much as $120.

Can you double check the date? Jackson appears on a large size $10 bill in 1923 and a Federal Reserve note in 1914.

Also, what color is the seal and what is the serial number including a * if there is one?

All so-called "small size" US bills printed since 1928 are the same size, 66.3 x 156 mm (6.14 × 2.61 in). Each weighs 1 gm, regardless of denomination.

Yes, it's still legal tender at face value. However, a bill that old would have additional value to a collector.

That line was just used for alignment -- it's not exceedingly rare to see it on a bill.

In circulated condition, value at about $2.00

No such thing.

The US didn't print any $100 bills dated 1935, only 1934. Please check your bill and post a new question.

Please check your bill again. The red ink and banner across the top indicate it's a United States Note. The first $2 FRN's were printed in 1976.

Please see the Related Question for more information.

In circulated condition, about $5.00

In noticably circulated condition, it has no added value.

If almost uncirculated, it's worth about $150.

A nice crisp uncirculated one is worth about $200.

You should have your bill evaluated in person by a dealer or appraiser who works with error currency. Depending on its condition it could retail for $100 to $200, although some auctions have gone higher.

Serial numbers are printed by two mechanical counters. They're supposed to always be in sync but sometimes one will get stuck. Normally the problem is discovered quickly and corrected but once in a while mismatched bills will accidentally slip through quality control.

There is no such note. There are red seals and blue one however, the USTreasurey never issued orange seal notes. If it has an orange seal, it is actually a red seal that has been chemically treated. This is a scam that new collectors are falling prey to. Please search online and see others who warn people of this scam. I was a victim to it. I make it a point to warn everyone.

All Series 1953 US $2 bills were printed as red-seal US Notes. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1953 US 2 dollar bill?" for more information.

There are pictures at the link below. With minor changes, the same design was used from 1928 to 1989.

The percentage of each denomination varies widely from year to year, but over time $2 bills have made up about 1% of all bills.

Interestingly, perhaps due to their use by transit systems, as part of promotions, and/or at some national parks, the number of $2 bills printed has increased slightly over the last decade. The most recent printings were in the 2009 and 2013 series.

The 100 dollar bill is the highest bill currently available to the public.

Prior to 1969, the US also circulated bills with denominations of $500, $1000, $5,000 and $10,000. However all but the $500 bill were rarely used. In July of that year President Nixon ordered that banks cease distribution of all bills higher than $100 in an effort to reduce money-laundering by organized crime.

High-value bills have never been officially withdrawn or demonetized so they're technically still legal to spend at face value, but you could get a lot more for most of them as collectibles.

Also, from 1934 to 1935 the US printed a $100,000 gold certificate that was used for transactions within the government, but these were not available to the public.

Check ebay, it lets you know what others are selling theirs at

There were no silver certificates dated 1963; in fact, the last $2 silver certificates were issued in 1899.

The banner across the top of your bill and its red ink indicate that it's a United States Note.

Please see the question "What is the value of a 1963 US 2 dollar bill?" for more information.

The first $2 Federal Reserve Notes were issued in 1976. The banner across its top and the red seal indicate it's a United States Note, a form of paper money issued directly by the federal government until the late 1960s.

Please see the question "What is the value of a 1928 D US 2 dollar bill?" for more information.

No denomination of coin or bill was discontinued in 1966. You may be thinking of the printing of United States Notes, which were a form of currency that circulated along with Federal Reserve Notes.

US Notes were distinctive because their seals and serial numbers were printed in red ink, rather than green. They were printed in much smaller numbers than FRN's and served the same purpose, so they were discontinued as a cost-saving measure effective with the 1966 series of $100 bills.

There weren't any federally-issued $1 bills dated 1888 but at that time many private banks printed their own bills under federal charter. Please post a new, separate question with more information. If your bill has the name of a private bank on it, include that name.

The last $100 silver certificates were dated 1891 and there weren't any federally-issued $100 bills dated 1909. At that time many private banks issued their own bills under federal charter. Please post a new, separate question with more information. If your bill has the name of a private bank on it, include that name.
