What is the value of a 1953 US 5 dollar bill with a yellow seal?

The seal should be red rather than yellow, although it's possible that the color changed with age or exposure to chemicals such as bleach or strong detergent.

Please see the question "What is the value of a 1953 US 5 dollar bill with a red seal?" for more information.

Is there such thing as a one million dollar bill in the US?

The US never printed a $1,000,000 bill. The highest denomination every issued was $100,000 and that was only used for internal government transactions during the 1930s.

There are many fake "million dollar bills" printed by private companies and sold as novelty items. They're only worth the paper they're printed on.

What are the dates when US silver certificates were printed?

That's an extremely broad question. It would take pages to list all of the specific dates for each denomination, but the ranges for silver certificates are shown below.

For many bills the dates shown are "series" dates rather than printing dates. A series used to start when there was a major change like a new design. Once a series began the same date was used until another major change came along. Some series dates were used for as much as 3 decades!

$1: 1886-1957

$2: 1886-1891

$5: 1886-1953

$10: 1878-1953

$20: 1878-1891

$50: 1878-1891

$100: 1878-1891

$500: 1878-1880

$1000: 1878-1891

What is the value of a 1935 US 20 dollar silver certificate?

Please check again and post a new, separate question. No $20 bills of any kind were printed with the 1935 series date and the last $20 silver certificates were dated 1891.

What is the value of a US 5 dollar bill with red serial number A35289477A?

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its date and what letter if any is next to the date.

Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value or help to ID it. Some collectors will pay extra for numbers with a special pattern, e.g. 12345678, or low numbers such as 00000015.

What is the value of a 1942 US 5 dollar bill with a yellow seal?

Please take another look at your bill. There were no US bills dated 1942.

If it has a yellow seal and the words NORTH AFRICA printed over the design, you have a special note printed for use by troops in that combat zone during WWII. That means it could have been printed in 1942, but the date on the front should say "1934 A" because all US bills carry series dates, not printing dates.

As of 05/2013, a North Africa overprint $5 bill would retail for $20 to $60 in circulated condition. Uncirculated ones are much less common and can bring $250 or so.

How many 2003 A US 2 dollar bills were printed?

Approximately 230,400,000 Series 2003 A US $2 bills were printed.

Production actually occurred in 2006; series dates currently reflect only a particular signature combination on US bills and not actual printing dates. All Series 2003A $2's were printed at Fort Worth, TX.

How can you tell if a million dollar is real?

if you are talking about just one bill it is not but if it is in hundreds thousands it is a tru million dollar

How much money does 10 pounds of 100 dollar bills make?

It's easy to figure out the correct answer of $453,600 once you know two facts: first, current US bills weigh 1 gram each and second, there are 453.6 grams in one US pound.

That means 10 US pounds is 4,536 grams, so 10 pounds of bills would be 4,536 pictures of Ben Franklin. Finally, 4,536 x $100 = $453,600

When will Barack Obama's portrait replace Abraham Lincoln on the US 5 dollar bill?

Regardless of any rumors circulating on the Internet, it would be decades if ever before President Obama's portrait would appear on a coin or bill.

First, by both custom and law no living person can be depicted on circulating currency without a special act of Congress. Even the Presidential Dollar series of coins is scheduled to skip over any current or former president who's still alive when their turn comes to be depicted.

Second, this claim was fueled by a satirical article posted on a humor website that was illustrated with Photoshopped mockups of bills featuring various people including President Obama. Despite other stories such as "aliens meeting with Mitt Romney", very few visitors realized it was actually a satirical site and even fewer bothered to perform basic fact-checking. The story spread among many conservative web pages and talk shows, gaining an air of (false) legitimacy in the process.

Third, with the exception of the rush to memorialize JFK on the half dollar in 1963, the decision to depict any president or other individual usually takes many years, until their place in history has been more or less settled. Given that Lincoln is considered by many historians to have been our single greatest leader it's very unlikely that any other person would replace him on the five except as part of a full redesign of all currency. Given the resistance of Congress over the last 40 years to allowing anything but the most minor changes to currency, that's unlikely to happen in our lifetimes.

Was the 1954 us dollar bill recalled at any time?

No, because the US didn't print any bills with that date.

The last US bills of any type to be recalled were gold certificates. These were withdrawn in 1933 when the US went off the gold standard. Even old high-denomination bills ($500, $1000, etc.) have never been formally recalled, although it wouldn't make much sense to spend one at face value.

How can you tell what series a us dollar bill is?

The series is simply the date. Sometimes people include the letter, if any, next to the date when describing the series.

Dates on US bills don't refer to when the bill was printed, but instead indicate what Treasury Secretary, US Treasurer, and/or design were present when the particular group of bills was first printed. That's the reason for the term "series".

Over the years the Treasury has changed the rules that determine a series - and sometimes even ignored its own standards. In the early 20th century a new series was usually started only when there was a significant design change, such as the new design for $1 silver certificates introduced in 1935.

The first bills in any series are usually but not always printed without a letter next to the date. The second set printed would have an "A", "B" would be on the third, and so on.

In the past a letter was added each time a new Treasury Secretary or US Treasurer took office so if the design didn't change the letters could go quite high. Those 1935 $1 SC's were issued all the way up to H.

In 1974 the rule was changed to be that a new series would start whenever a new Treasury Secretary takes office and a letter would be added only if there's a change in the Treasurer's position. As a result modern bills have much more frequent date changes and series letters haven't gone above B in most cases.

That rule has led to some anomalies too, though. For example a new 2004 series was started when the multicolor $20s were introduced, but by the time the new tens were ready there had been a change in Treasurers. The first "colorized" tens were printed as 2004-A instead of 2004. Somewhat strangely the Treasury didn't start a new series when the new purple and gray five was introduced so both the new and old designs were printed as Series 2006 bills.

What president added in god we trust to US money?

"In God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the US in 1956. The idea of putting the phrase on U.S. currency was conceived by Salmon P. Chase, the US Treasury Secretary under President Abraham Lincoln. Chase wrote in an 1861 letter to James Pollock, the Director of the Mint in Philadelphia, that "no nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins."

MoreThe motto first appeared on the two-cent coin introduced in 1864. It was added to several other denominations in 1866, following the end of the Civil War, but it wasn't until 1938 that it appeared on all circulating denominations.

The motto wasn't added to paper money until 1957, though. It was placed on the reverse of the 1957 series of $1 silver certificates. 1935-G $1 bills were still being printed at that time so it was added to that series in mid-production; some have the motto and some don't. It was added to higher denominations starting with the 1963 issues.

Some people mistakenly believe that older bills without the motto are printing errors. In fact they're not mistakes and aren't worth any extra premium because they lack the wording.

What is the value of an 1868 US 2 dollar bill?

There were no 1868 federally-issued $2 bills. However many private banks printed their own currency at that time. Please post a new, separate question with the name of the bank that issued the bill, a description of the pictures on it, or some other information that might help to ID it more specifically. You don't have to copy things like its serial number or post common wordings like "US of America{, etc.

Why did George Washington get his face on the dollar?

Well, it was against the law to have a living person's face on any currency in the United States, just a little fun fact. Because he was a great leader and one of the country's four founding fathers. He led the army in the American Revolution, and he was the U.S.A's very first president. That is why he is and deserves to be on the U.S dollar bill. Or Dolla bill, since I'm a New Englanda

What is the value of a 2 dollar bill from Boston Massachusetts?

If it has a city name, the bill is almost certainly a modern Federal Reserve Note and is only worth face value.

To clear things up, the bill isn't actually from Boston. All US bills are printed in Washington or Fort Worth. The city shown corresponds to the Federal Reserve District that requested the bills. When one of the 12 districts determines that more currency is needed, the Treasury instructs the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to print bills with that district's seal and/or alphanumeric indicator depending on the bills' designs. Usually tens or hundreds of millions of bills are printed at one time. They're sent to the Federal Reserve bank for that district, and eventually are distributed to the public via the banking system.

What is the value of a 1953 us 1 dollar silver certificate with a blue seal?

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. There were no US $1 bills with a 1953 series date.

Will copying a 20 dollar bill take you to FBI site?

If you mean the website, probably not. But if you try to spend the bill you'll almost certainly be taken to the bricks-and-mortar location of a law enforcement agency.

What is the value of a 1937 US 1 dollar bill with a blue seal?

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. No US bills are dated 1937. 1935 and 1957 are the closest dates for blue-seal $1 bills

What is the value of 1935 G one dollar bill?

The value of a 1935 G one dollar bill typically ranges from $1.50 to $3.00 in circulated condition, but it can be worth more if it is in uncirculated or pristine condition, potentially reaching $10 or more. The value depends on factors like condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. For precise valuation, it's best to consult a currency expert or reference a current price guide.
