What does each year for the two dollar bill look like?
The US has printed $2 bills since 1862 so there have been many designs.
Small-size $2 bills issued since 1928 have had only 2 designs:
- United States Notes (1928-63) show a picture of Thomas Jefferson on the front and his home Monticello on the back. These bills are distinguished by their red seals and serial numbers.
- Federal Reserve Notes (1976-present) have a similar picture of Thomas Jefferson on the front and a representation of Trumbull's painting The Signing of the Declaration of Independence on the reverse. These bills have the same green-and-black color scheme as $1 bills.

How do you know where american paper money is printed?
To tell where a bill was printed, look for a plate position indicator on the bill's front. It's a letter with a small number to the right and indicates where a particular bill was located on the printing sheet before the bills were cut apart.
If the indicator has a small "FW" to the left of the letter it was printed at Fort Worth. No "FW" means it was printed in Washington. For example
- A bill with the indicator B3 was printed in Washington.
- A bill with FWC2 came from Fort Worth.
MythbustingContrary to popular misconceptions, the US Mint does NOT print paper money; they only make coins. The BEP and Mint are both parts of the Treasury Department, but they're entirely separate operations.How is paper US money made at the bureau of engraving and printing marked?
By marked, I gather you mean how is each individual bill identifiable from the others. That is done by a serial number printed twice on each bill.
Both printing facilities for US paper money are operated by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. They're not separate.

The reason a red seal $5 bill doesn't have a Federal Reserve letter on it is because the red seal version is NOT a Federal Reserve note. Red seal bills are United States notes.
What is the value of us 1 one dollar star paper currency?
Until 1971, the US Dollar was fixed against gold at 1/35 ounce per Dollar. Since the abolition of the Gold Standard and the decimalisation of British currency (Sterling), along with the abolition of the British Silver Standard, the Federal Reserve has printed currency according to demand and to artificially devalue the Dollar against other currencies, which are all doing the same thing. The Federal Reserve prints approximately 1.2 Trillion Dollars worth of currency every year with no assets to bacck its perceived value agianst. What we end up with is the Dollar representing a miniscule amount of gold nowadays (currently the market has gold at over $1800/oz or one hundredth of a gram per Dollar), however the Dollar is backed against itself now, not gold or silver. The common misconception is that the price of gold has gone up, but in real terms the price of gold has remained static throughout Human history - it is the Dollar that has devalued, giving the illusory inflation that all currencies exhibit.
What denominations did the US dollar bills come in?
There are currently $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills. There were $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 but they haven't been printed since 1945.
Whose face is on hundred thousand dollar bill?
There is no hundred thousand dollar bill. The highest denomination currently in use in US currency is the one hundred dollar bill.
There was, at one time, a one hundred thousand dollar "bill", but it was used only for transactions between branches of the federal government and never issued for general use. It featured Woodrow Wilson.
How much is a 1999series 5 dollar bill with blue seal and doesnt say silver certificate worth?

How much is a real 2 dollar bill worth these days?
As opposed to a counterfeit one?
Any modern $2 bill (dated 1976 or later) that you got in change is only worth $2 so feel free to spend it. If it's uncirculated it might retail for all of $2.50 to $4.00 but a dealer will only pay face value.

What is the value of a set of a 2 and a 5 red seal 1953 series?
Not a whole lot, 1953 is a common series for both the $2 and $5 bills. If in decent-ish shape I'd say about $3 for the $2 and about $7 for the $5 if in absolute perfect shape I'd say $20 for the lot of both the $2 and the $5.
What is the value of a 1929 US 20 dollar bill from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston?
As of 07/2014, retail values in average condition are $25 to $35. Uncirculated, that jumps to $150.
To clarify things, the bills aren't actually printed in the Federal Reserve district that issued them. They're printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington (and since 1991, Fort Worth) with the name and letter of the issuing district added.
What does the letter at the end of the us paper money serial number mean?
The letter at the end of the serial number is treated like an extra digit. For example if the letter starts as A, when the number portion reaches 99999999 the letter clicks up to "B", the number is reset, and the process starts all over again.
The leading letter on all bills indicates the Federal Reserve District that distributed the bill. On higher-denomination notes there's a second letter before the serial number that again is treated like a digit.
What is the value of a 1935 1000 dollar bill?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The only US bills dated 1935 were $1 silver certificates with blue seals. The last $1000 bills were 1934 Federal Reserve Notes with green seals.
What is the difference between a 1953A and 1953B US 5 dollar bill?
For any US bills issued since 1928, a letter next to the date indicates the part of the printing "series" in which the bill was issued.
Unlike coins, the date on a bill only indicates when its particular series began. For historical reasons the first set of bills in any series doesn't have a letter. When a new set starts, an "A" is added, then "B", and so on. That means your bills were printed respectively in the second and third sets in the 1953 series.
Two different types of 1953 $5 bills were printed: red-seal United States Notes and blue-seal silver certificates. For information about values, please see the Related Questions.
More DetailsBased on the bills' series and type, it's possible to tell very roughly when they were printed. The 1953-A bills were printed some time after July, 1957 and most likely up to early 1961. The 1953-B's were probably printed from early 1961 to early 1962.The rules that determine dates and letters have changed over the years. Originally a new series date was only started when there was some major change to a bill's design or the printing process. A letter would be added if and when either a new Secretary of the Treasury or US Treasurer was appointed. Because bill designs didn't change very often that practice led to the rather absurd situation of 1935-dated $1 bills being printed well into the 1960s.
Starting in 1974 the Treasury changed the rules to assign a new series date when either a new design was adopted or a new Secretary was appointed. A letter would be added only if a new Treasurer was appointed. Because Treasury Secretaries normally serve only the president who appointed them, the new rules mean that bills' dates change much more often and there are very few different series letters. Check the bills in your wallet to see how it works.

How many US 2 dollar bills are printed every year?
Because $2 bills are the least-used denomination, they're printed on an as-needed basis instead of every year.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing publishes how many bills are printed in each fiscal year. They don't show specifically which date(s) are printed on the bills but it's possible to infer that from the series year.
1996: 51,200,000 (1995 series)
1997: 102,400,000 (1995 series)
2004: 121,600,000 (2003 series)
2006: 230,400,000 (2003-A series)
2012: (incomplete, 2009 series)
The gradual increase in demand has been attributed to a number of different factors, including the use of the denomination by group promotions, for payment of transit fares that have pushed to or over $2, and simply to increased awareness in a few parts of the country.
In any case there is no truth to any of the many rumors that the denomination is rare, has been discontinued, or is in some way connected with crime or religious curses.
What is the market value of US dollar 1 million bill?
5 cents, maybe. The U.S. has NEVER printed a $1 million bill, so any you might find are only novelties.
How do you know wen a 100 bill from 1985 its real?
Being that it was printed before 1991, it lacks most of the security features found in later bills. One way to check is to take a close look at the paper itself. A genuine bill should have little red and blue threads mixed into the paper. If you're still unsure, you can bring it to a bank for authentication. They have pens with specialized ink to check for fake bills.
