US Banknotes

The value of uncirculated 1985 U.S. $1 bills typically ranges from $1.25 to $3, depending on their condition and any unique features, such as a star note or specific serial numbers. Generally, uncirculated bills are worth a premium over face value, but the $1 bill is not highly sought after compared to higher denominations. Collectors may pay more for specific varieties or notes in pristine condition. Always check with a currency collector or appraiser for the most accurate valuation.

While some argue that it would be a reasonable denomination to have, the US has never printed a $200 bill.

In 1969 President Nixon suspended distribution of all bills higher than $100. Since that time there have been occasional calls to print new higher-denomination bills but both Congress and the Treasury have resisted, citing concerns about the use of high-value currency by criminals and terrorists. In addition the widespread use of electronic payments makes it unlikely new denominations will be needed.

Similarly, very few other countries print high-value bills. The EU is one major exception with both €200 and €500 bills but they're rarely used in ordinary commerce.

Regardless of the bill's condition, it's important to determine whether you really have a silver certificate. It's very unlikely; the last $2 silver certificates were dated 1899. With one exception all $2 bills since then have been issued as either United States Notes or Federal Reserve Notes. The note's type is shown clearly in the banner across the top front.

That said, the majority of $2 bills printed in the last hundred years aren't hugely valuable. However some can retail for as much as several hundred dollars in top condition.

For a better estimate of your bill's value, find its date and what letter if any is next to the date. Most $2 bill values are already posted on this site so look for questions like "What is the value of a 1953 A US 2 dollar bill?", of course using the date and letter (if any) of your particular bill.

The largest denomination currently in circulation is for $100. There used to be larger notes, up to $10,000 (the $100,000 was for government use only), but they have all long since been withdrawn.

It's not clear what you're referring to. If "J" is the Federal Reserve District letter shown on the bill, the answer is no. It simply means the bill was distributed by the Kansas City, MO district. (Note that the letter doesn't indicate where the bill was actually printed, though - regardless of the distributing district, all bills are actually printed in either Washington or Fort Worth.)

It will be worth one dollar. The serial numbers really do not have an affect on value. There may be collectors that would find it of interest, but they are not likely to pay much for it.

No dollar bills are minted in the US. The Mint only makes coins. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

The highest denomination bill currently issued is $100.

Until 1945 the largest bill printed for circulation was $10,000 but these weren't widely used.

In 1934 and 1935 the BEP made special $100,000 bills that were used for transferring money between Federal Reserve banks. These bills were never put into general circulation and most were later destroyed. At least one was saved and is on display in the Smithsonian.

It is , "The All Seeing Eye." That is a symbol of the Free Mason Lodge, a fraternal order to which many of the early patriots (Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Revere, etc.) belonged. Supposedly it was taken from a story of Ancient Egypt that played out in Masonic ceremonies.

This is a very vague question. Are you asking "how many coins equal $1,000.00 in cash?" Depending on the denomination of coins it can be 1,000 One dollar coins = $1,000.00 or 100,000 One cent coins = $1,000.00 or any combination of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars or dollar coins.

A star next to the serial number on any US bill means that the original note with that number was damaged in printing, and the star note is the replacement.

Assuming you're referring to a bill printed after 1928, there are very few fakes because the bill's value is too low to make counterfeiting it worthwhile.

Neither $1 nor $2 bills incorporate modern security features like watermarks or color strips, though. If you're really uncertain about a particular bill, about all you can do is:

(1) Look at the paper to see if it contains tiny blue and red threads. These are added to the paper and are very difficult to replicate in a fake.

(2) Examine Jefferson's image. It should be sharp and the lines should be crisp and regular.

(3) Check the "teeth" in the seal or seals on the bill's front. They also should be sharp and evenly-spaced.

All 1928-series US $2 bills were printed as United States Notes which had red seals rather than yellow seals. It's possible that your bill's color has been affected by age or exposure to chemicals.

If your 1928 G bill were undamaged its approximate retail value as of 01/2015 would be about 5 to 10 dollars in average circulated condition, and $25 if uncirculated. However if the bill has been damaged its value would be correspondingly less.

As of 01/2015, HAWAII-overprint bills retail for $10 to $40 in circulated condition. A nice uncirculated one can sell for $135 or more.

Despite the word HAWAII and a 1935 date, these bills were actually printed in Washington DC during WWII. The government was afraid that if the Japanese invaded the islands, any currency they stole could used to destabilize the US economy. The Treasury's solution was to replace standard $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills in that territory with special versions that had brown seals and HAWAII overprinted on both sides. If Hawaii had been captured its special currency could be declared worthless without affecting bills used on the mainland.

The back of the U.S. $2 bill features John Trumbull's painting "The Declaration of Independence." The man wearing the hat is Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island.

Yes, it means that the bill is a "replacement note" printed to replace a bill that was damaged during the printing process before it was delivered to the Federal Reserve system.

All old U.S. currency is still legal tender at face value.

Wild online conspiracy theories notwithstanding, there is no way to track any US bill.
