US Banknotes

United States one-dollar bill was created in 1862.

a long time ago

The collector value for a $1 star note is usually only about two to three dollars.

A Bill Full of Dollars was created on 2008-11-16.

As of 04/2014 auction values are in the range of $30 to $200 for a circulated bill, and up to $3000 for an uncirculated one.

The brown seal indicates it's a National Currency Note, an infrequently-issued form of paper currency discontinued after the 1929 printing. It was actually printed in Washington but distributed through the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.

All United States paper currency is produced by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) which has facilities located in Washington, DC. and Fort Worth, TX.

The sole provider to the BEP of the special paper used to print currency is manufactured by Crane & Co. which for obvious reasons sells the currency paper only to the US Treasury. The currency paper is composed of 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen and has special blue and red fibers embedded in the paper.

According to the latest figures from the Federal Reserve the cost of producing a one dollar bill is 5.4 cents per note. The one dollar bill lasts for about two years in circulation. Worn out, torn or defaced currency is removed from circulation and returned to the Federal Reserve where it is destroyed.

It is very expensive to produce the currency required for commerce. The Federal Reserve which actually places the orders for paper currency with the BEP has budgeted $828 million for 2014 to produce paper currency.

It is interesting to note that the cost of producing each $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 note is about double the cost of printing a one dollar bill.

The redesigned $100 bill was officially released by the U.S. Treasury on October 8, 2013. This new version features advanced security features, including a blue security ribbon and a larger portrait of Benjamin Franklin. The redesign aimed to deter counterfeiting and modernize the appearance of the currency.

The value of a 1941 Malaya dollar bill can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. Generally, bills in good condition can range from a few dollars to several hundred, while uncirculated or rare variants may fetch higher prices. It's advisable to consult a currency expert or reference a reputable pricing guide for a more accurate valuation.

A genuine specimen would be incredibly valuable, but odds are that it's a replica. Have it authenticated.

Nothing about the denomination of the bill or its value. It might be part of a plate position indicator or some other "housekeeping" feature of the bill, that's all.

There is no "series D silver dollar" (a coin) so I assume you're referring to a silver certificate (a bill). However there were different series that went up to "D"; you'll need to check the bill's date and post a new, separate question with that information.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The last red-seal $5 bills were dated 1963.

There were no federally-issued silver certificates with that date, only Treasury Notes. You may have one of those or a privately-issued bill.

Please check again and post a new, separate question with more information that could help ID the bill.

You don't have to include the serial number as that rarely helps to identify a bill.

Not much. Storing $50000 in hundred-dollar bills would require 500 bills. Current US banknotes are 0.11 mm thick on average so 500 would make a stack only 500 × 0.11 = 55 mm high. All bills have horizontal dimensions of 156 × 66.3 mm so you could easily hold the entire stack in one hand. For comparison, that's (very) roughly the volume of four packs of playing cards.

Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value or help to ID it. Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its seal color, date, and what letter if any is next to the date. That information is needed to estimate a value.

That said, any US $2 bill dated 1976 or later is only worth face value if it's been in circulation. Uncirculated ones can sell for $3 to $7 depending on the date.

Only one series of 1976 $2 bills was printed, so none of them would have a series letter. A series letter is always next to (below or to the right) of the date. If the "D" is in the Federal Reserve Seal, it's the indicator letter for the Federal Reserve Bank that distributed the bill.

In any case, in average condition the bill is only worth face value. If it's uncirculated it might retail for $3-$4.

Both serial numbers need to be present (there is one on each half of the front side).

There is such a thing as a U.S. $1,000 bill, but none have been printed since the 1940s, and they were officially withdrawn from circulation in the late 1960s. They are still legal tender at face value, but are generally worth more to collectors.

They have multiple connections. The number 13 of course represents the 13 colonies that made up the original United States, the stone indicates they form the foundation of the country, the fact that the pyramid is unfinished indicates that the US is and always will be a work in progress, and finally the use of masonry relates to the fact that many of the Founding Fathers were members of the society of Masons.

The whole black dollar thing is a scam.

The United States uses the dollar, which is made up of 100 cents. Current circulating coins are minted in the following denominations:

1 cent (penny)

5 cents (nickel)

10 cents (dime)

25 cents (quarter)

50 cents (half dollar)

1 dollar

In the past, there were coins for 1/2, 2, 3, and 20 cents, as well as gold coins for 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 dollars.

For paper money/banknotes, there are bills for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars. There used to be even larger notes at 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 100,000 dollars, but none have been printed since the 1940s and they were withdrawn twenty years later. The $100,000 bill was only used between government offices and never saw circulation in public.
