US Banknotes

Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, is featured on the US $50 bill.

Yes you can use any form of us currency with the exception of the $100,000 bill which was just used for Federal Reserve transfers in the 1930s. However, high denomination bills are not issued any longer so they are rare. You can use them to make purchases, pay debts, etc. but you'd be fool to do so, because collectors would pay much more than face value to acquire them for their collections.

Very unlikely. You may be thinking of the fact that there were two different designs issued under the same 2006 series. The Federal Reserve originally planned to keep issuing the old green-and-black design, but changed its plans and decided to add anti-counterfeiting features. The old bills continued to be printed while the new purple-and-black design was prepared, so both designs were issued under the same series.

Neither design is rare, and both are only worth $5 despite a lot of internet rumors.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. H is the highest series letter for 1935 $1 silver certificates.

In fact no US banknote series has extended to "K". The series letter, if any, will be next to or below the series date. It's not to be confused with the prefix or suffix letters on a bill's serial number or, in the case of a Federal Reserve Note, the district letter appearing in the center of the Federal Reserve seal on higher-denomination bills printed before 1990 as well as current $1 and $2 bills.

The US Mint only makes coins. Your bill was printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which is completely separate from the Mint.

2003 $2 bills are only worth face value. The silver overlay was added by a private company. To a paper money collector that means the bill has been altered so it is still only worth $2. There are some niche collectors who will pay extra for some of these privately-created items so long as they're still in the original packaging but the market for them is small and unstable so it's not possible to put an accurate price on it.

Bills in almost every country are rectangular because it's a very practical shape.

The symmetry and straight edges of rectangular bills allows them to easily be carried in wallets, stacked neatly, counted by machine, etc. Any other shape (triangular, pentagonal, oval, etc.) would make one or more of those tasks much more difficult.

Huge numbers of $2 bills were printed(*) for the Bicentennial so none of them are particularly rare.

More value would be attached to one with an unusual serial number (e.g. 12345678 or 23232323) than would result from differing Federal Reserve District letters.

(*) To clear things up, the Mint only makes coins. All bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which makes them for each of the 12 Federal Reserve Districts. In 1976 there was only one printing facility, in Washington DC. In 1990 a second printing plant was opened in Fort Worth. All bills are made at one of those 2 locations regardless of the district that distributes them.

The face on the 50 dollar bill in the United States is that of Ulysses S. Grant.

The Great Seal is located on the back of a US 1 dollar bill. It is found on the right-hand side, above the number 1, and features an eagle surrounded by a 13-star constellation, a shield, and an olive branch and arrows in its talons.

There were no $1 silver certificates printed with that date. If you're referring to a $1 coin, please post a new question. Indicate how worn the coin is, and whether there is a small letter (D or S) under the eagle on the back side of the coin.

The United States ceased printing large denomination banknotes in 1945. The largest denomination printed was $100,000, but these were only used for interbank transactions and were never released into general circulation.

The Great Seal of the United States appears on the reverse side of the US 1 dollar bill. It can be found on the left side of the bill, opposite the portrait of George Washington. The Great Seal consists of an eagle and a shield with various symbols and mottos.

Some 1935 US 1 dollar bills had yellow seals, rather than gold. If your bill has the letter "A" next to the date and the words NORTH AFRICA in large letters, as of 10/2012 its retail value in average condition is 10 to 20 dollars.

Despite the 1935 date, these bills were printed during WWII for use by Allied troops in North Africa. The distinctive color meant they could be quickly declared worthless if they fell into Nazi hands.

A three dollar bill does not exist. It is a phrase used to describe something that is fake or nonexistent. If it were to exist, it would likely resemble a regular currency bill, but with the denomination of three dollars instead of the usual denominations.

No, there is no 2003 US Millennium Note with a one million dollar denomination. The highest denomination US bill ever printed for public circulation was the $10,000 bill, which was last printed in 1945 and is no longer in circulation. The highest denomination bill currently in circulation is the $100 bill.

There are series dates on all U.S. currency. There is a new year if there is a design change or a new Secretary of the Treasury. Then if there is a new U.S. Treasurer, but under the same Secretary, a letter is added to the date.

The red seal indicates that your bill is a United States Note, a form of paper money issued from 1862 to 1966.

US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government instead of through the Federal Reserve System (the central bank). They were completely interchangeable with Federal Reserve Notes, so production was consolidated to save printing costs. All US paper currency is now issued by the Federal Reserve.

The value of a US 5 dollar star note with a red seal can vary depending on factors such as its condition, rarity, and demand. In general, star notes and red seal notes can be more desirable to collectors, which may increase their value. It is recommended to consult a professional currency dealer or appraiser to get an accurate estimate of the specific note's value.

The value of a 1950 US ten dollar bill with red ink varies depending on its condition and rarity. Typically, these bills are worth around $20 to $30 in circulated condition. However, if the bill is in uncirculated condition or has any unique attributes, the value can significantly increase. It is recommended to consult with a professional currency dealer or collector for a more accurate appraisal.

It's too new to have any collector value and is worth only face value, twenty dollars
