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.
Without knowing your bills' dates it's not possible to give an estimate. Please check them again and look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US 5 dollar bill?" for more-specific information.

How many 2 dollar bills were made?
The U.S. Treasury has issued various series of two-dollar bills since their introduction in 1862, with the most recent series being printed in 2013. While specific production numbers vary, it's estimated that around 1.4 billion two-dollar bills were printed overall. However, many of these bills are still in circulation, leading to a perception of their rarity. As of recent years, approximately 60 million two-dollar bills remain in circulation.
What is the value of 1929 G 20 dollar bill from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago?
As of 10/2012, retail values in average condition are $25 to $35. Uncirculated, that jumps to $150.
To clarify things, there is no 1929 "G" series - G is simply the letter code for the Chicago Federal Reserve district. All current $1 and $2 bills and old higher-value bills have similar letters indicating the district that distributed them. Of course, the bills aren't actually printed in the issuing district - 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 is the face value of a 1935 D US 1 dollar silver certificate?
The face value of any bill or coin simply refers to its denomination, so the face value of any $1 bill is one dollar (and the face value of a quarter is 25¢, of a penny is 1¢, and so on.)
The collector or market value of a bill or coin is what it's actually worth to a collector on the open market. For that information, please see the Related Question.
In the case of a rare item the market value is almost always higher than the face value. Common items - e.g. a circulated 2010 dime - have no extra market value so their face value is the same as their value to a collector. And in some cases, for example obsolete currency that's not in high demand, the face value can be more than the collector value.
What does a red seal on a 2 dollar bill mean?
A red seal on a US bill indicates it was issued as a United States Note, a now-discontinued form of paper money.
US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government. They were introduced in 1862 during the Civil War. When the Federal Reserve System was created in 1913 as the nation's central bank it began to assume responsibility for issuing the nation's paper money. However up till the 1960s the government remained legally required to produce a specific fraction of all paper money as US Notes.
The two currencies were in fact completely interchangeable - both were backed by the faith and credit of the US, the bills themselves had essentially identical designs, and were printed by the same Treasury facilities. In the mid-1960s the minimum production requirement for US Notes was eliminated as a cost-saving move. The last general-issue US Notes were Series 1963-A $2 and Series 1963 $5 bills, although some Series 1966-A $100 US Notes were issued as late as 1971. Since then all US bills have been familiar green-seal Federal Reserve Notes.

What is a 1934A gold seal us five dollar bill worth?
This note is actually a silver certificate, and also known as a "North Africa note".

How do you authenticate a 1000.00 bill?
There are not a whole lot of fake $1,000 bills from 1928, 1934, or 1934a. I can tell they are faked based on the portrait, font, and serial number. Sometimes the font is wrong, sometimes the serial number is too high, and sometimes the portrait just looks goofy.
