US Banknotes

There is no such thing as a "Morgan $2 bill". George T. Morgan designed coins, not bills. Most red seal $2 bills are worth only a few dollars above face value, although they can retail for higher prices if in uncirculated condtion. Given that situation, sequential serial numbers add little or nothing to their value.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with more information that might help to identify it. There weren't any federally-issued $100 bills dated 1868 but at that time many private banks printed their own bills under federal charter. If your bill has the name of a private bank on it, include that name.

They are still in production today. You can obtain one from your local bank.

Currently, the one hundred dollar bill is the highest denomination printed.

At one time the US also issued $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills for general circulation, and printed special $100,000 bills for use by Federal Reserve banks. Printing was discontinued in 1945. In 1969 banks were ordered to stop distribution of high-denomination bills as a way of combatting organized crime. Today the bills are effectively out of circulation because banks have been required to keep any that they receive in deposit or exchange; they're returned to the Treasury for destruction.

Red ink was never used in printing 1976 $2 bills because they were issued as Federal Reserve Notes at a time when the standard colors were black, green, and white.

It's possible your bill picked up additional colors from some external source like a bank wrapper, a security pen, etc.

In any case, all circulated 1976 $2 bills are worth face value only.

On bills dated 1928 to 1966 red seals and serial numbers indicate that the bill is a United States Note, a form of currency that was issued directly by the Federal Government instead of through the Federal Reserve System.

Most US Notes were either $2 or $5 bills; in 1966 they were also printed as $100 bills. They served effectively the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes so they were discontinued to eliminate duplicate printing costs.

Before bill colors were standardized in the 1920s, many different types of bills used red ink. These older issues have to be examined individually to determine what type they are.

In average condition it has no extra value.

A crisp, uncirculated 1977 US $20 bill might retail for all of $22 or $23. A dealer will only pay face value.

Two types of $5 bill were printed as part of the 1963 series - familiar green-seal Federal Reserve Notes, and a now-discontinued form of currency called a US Note.

US Notes have red seals and serial numbers, and the words UNITED STATES NOTE across the top.

Federal Reserve Notes have green seals and serial numbers, and the words FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE across the top.

As of 07/2012 both types are worth only face value to $7 if circulated. However, a nice uncirculated one without any folds or other damage could sell for $18-20.

Worth about 4 to 10 dollar depending on condition

Five dollars.
5 dollars. Bills dated 1974 and later are only worth face value.

They're uncommon in circulation because lower denominations of US currency wear out in a few years; banks hold back worn bills and return them to the Treasury for replacement. However so many of these bills were printed that collectors and dealers have pretty much as many as they want or need. Even today, an average-condition 1977 A $10 bill only brings about $11 at retail.

Any 1 million US Dollar note is worthless other than as a curiosity. The largest denomination is circulation is $100. The largest ever circulated is $100,000.

Internet rumors to the contrary, there were never any plans to NOT print $2 bills.

The Treasury orders new ones as demand warrants. As of this writing, the most recent printings have been made with the series dates 2009 and 2013.

Distribution of bills higher than $100 was suspended by presidential order in July 1969.

The goal at the time was to limit the use of high-value bills by organized crime. No $1000 bills had been printed since 1945 so the order had little effect on ordinary citizens' banking practices.

Today concerns about terrorism and the widespread use of electronic funds makes it unlikely that new high-value bills will be printed, despite the fact that inflation has reduced the purchasing power of $1000 now to less than what $100 bought back in 1969.

"D" is the highest series letter for both 1934-dated series of $10 bills.

If your bill is a Federal Reserve Note, you may be referring to the Federal Reserve District letter. The series letter, if any, on US bills is next to the date.

The last US $100 silver certificates were dated 1891, and no $100 bills were printed in 1932. Please check your bill again; it may be a fantasy printing, a novelty item, or a privately-issued bill.

$2 bills were regularly printed in the early days of government-issued paper money starting during the Civil War. Their purpose is because US has a quasi-decimal currency system - i.e. it's mostly based on factors and multiples of 10.

Ideally, to optimize the number of coins or bills needed to make change versus the number of different denominations, coins and bills should all be multiples of 1, 2, 5, or 10, so a $2 bill fits nicely in between the $1 and $5 bills in the same way that a $20 bill fits between a $10 and $50. In fact, most countries that use decimal currency systems have a 2-unit denomination because it limits the number of ones needed to make change. Making change for a $5 bill then requires at most 2 other bills - two $2 bills or one $1 and one $2.

The reason the US is different dates back to the late 19th century. At that time $2 was a common price in numerous quasi-criminal activities such as gambling and prostitution. As a result the bills became associated with criminals and were shunned by "decent folks" in that era, so they pretty much stopped circulating in regular channels. Lack of use led to a reduction in printing, which led to even lower use, and so on.

Despite those effects, there's always been a small but steady demand for $2 bills so they've never been discontinued and new ones have been printed as recently as 2013.
