Do One thousand dollar bills exist?

They do they are just no longer printed.

Even when they were being printed they rarely entered circulation, so almost no one saw them, as the main reason they were printed was for the use of banks to make large transfers of funds without having to move big heavy piles of paper. This purpose is now obsolete as most such bank to bank transfers are now done entirely electronically.

What is the value of a 2003 Delaware Rodney 2 dollar bill?

You have a novelty item made by altering a genuine 2003 US $2 bill. It has no interest to a currency collector, but may bring a small premium if you're fortunate to find someone who collects Delaware memorabilia.

In any case it's still worth no less than its face value of two bucks.

Do they make 1000 dollar bills?

The U.S. used to print larger denominations of bills, including $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000, but none have been printed since 1945.

in 1969 President Nixon ordered a halt to further distribution of high-denomination bills as part of an effort to thwart money laundering by organized criminals. The bills weren't formally recalled, but banks are no longer allowed to provide them to customers and any that are received must be sent back to the Treasury in exchange for lower-denomination notes.

What do the letters mean on each dollar bill?

The big letter to the left of Washington's portrait indicates the Federal Reserve branch where the bill was originally distributed. The same letter is found at the beginning of the serial number. The last letter indicates how many runs of serial numbers have been used, where A is the first, B is second, and so on. Then there will be a tiny letter and number, such as J5 or FW D191, which is the plate position during printing.

What is the value of a 1993 paper silver dollar?

These bills are called silver certificates rather than "paper silver dollars". However the last silver certificates were dated 1957. As you can see from the green Treasury seal and the words across the top front of the bill, you have a standard Federal Reserve Note which is only worth $1.

What is the value of a 10000 Dollar Bill that states a gold certificate It does not appear to be canceled?

Gold certificates were banknotes just like $1 and $20 bills, and generally wouldn't be "canceled".

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its date and denomination. Note however that genuine $10,000 gold certificates are very rare so it may not be possible to determine whether yours is real or a replica without further information or an in-person inspection.

What is the value of a 1981 US 20 dollar bill with the serial numbers and seals on the back?

You have what's called a flipover error. Depending on its condition it might retail for $300 to $500.

Flipover errors are possible because bills are printed in multiple steps. If the sheet of paper on which a set of bills is printed is accidentally put in the press incorrectly, one or more parts of the design can be upside down or backwards.

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.

What is a gold certificate and where is it located on a US 50 dollar bill?

Gold certificates aren't "on" bills. They were bills themselves and were backed by an equivalent amount of gold on deposit with the US Treasury. You could take one to a bank and receive that amount of gold in return.

To clear things up, you won't find any gold certificates in change. The last gold certificates were issued in 1928, and five years later the US withdrew both them and gold coins from circulation. Any current bill you have, regardless of its denomination, will be a Federal Reserve Note.

In any case a gold certificate would be easy to recognize. Most of the ones issued in the early part of the 20th century, and all that were issued in 1928, have the words GOLD CERTIFICATE on them, and the seal and serial numbers are gold-colored.

What is the value of a REGULAR 1963 US 5 dollar bill with a red seal?

What is the value of a 1932 US 100 dollar bill with a blue seal?

How old does a US 20 dollar bill have to be before it's worth more than face value?

So many $20 bills have been printed over the years that you have to go back to the 1985 series before you can find any that are worth a premium in uncirculated condition, and all the way to the 1950 series for bills that have been used.

However age isn't the only factor making a bill worth more than face value. The bill's condition and its series letter (the small letter, if any, next to the date) can also affect values. For example as of 07/2014 a 1934 $20 bill with no series letter might retail for only about $23 because so many were printed. But a 1950 bill with an E next to the date is part of a much rarer issue printed in the early 1960s and has a retail value of $50 to $65.

Are US 1 dollar silver certificates worth anything?

In circulation they're always worth the face value of the bill. As for the collector value, in very good condition (not a grading phrase) they will usually be worth $3-$4 depending on the year they were printed, and possibly much more if they're older than 1935, or are special such as the wartime bills printed for use in Hawaii and North Africa. If in mint condition they could be worth a few dollars more. There are exceptions that are worth much more.

What is the value of 1934 A US 100000 dollar bill?

IF you had a genuine one, it would be spectacularly rare, valuable, and extremely illegal.

The US only printed about 42,000 $100,000 bills for internal government use. They were never circulated and it's illegal to own one privately, so it's impossible to determine a collector value. All but a small number of them were later destroyed. One sample is in the Smithsonian.

Many people believe they've found a "lost" or "forgotten" $100,000 bill, but they turn out to be either copies sold in a novelty shop or outright fakes. Over the last 15 year or so the market has been flooded with counterfeits, most produced in Asia and sold to unsuspecting visitors.
