What is the value of a 1957 G US one dollar silver certificate?
There's no "1957G" silver certificate. The highest series letter was B. "G" may be part of the serial number or a plate indicator.
Regardless of the series letter, the value depends substantially upon the condition of the note. In circulated condition with even minor damage, it might not be worth any more than face value. In uncirculated condition, they can fetch as much as $6 to $8; notes that have been graded and sleeved by a recognized currency grading organization, such as PMG, can be more valuable than an identical, ungraded specimen.
"Star notes" (bills that have the initial letter in the serial number replaced by a star) and notes with particularly interesting serial numbers (such as palindromes, sequences, very low numbers, or numbers consisting of all one number) can command much higher prices, especially when the condition of the note is high.
What is the value of a 1963 H US 10 dollar bill?
Please check your bill again. "A" is the highest series letter for 1963 $10 bills. You may be looking at the Federal Reserve District letter instead; the series letter if any is next to the date.

What is the value of an 1876 US silver certificate?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question including the bill's denomination. The first US silver certificates were issued in 1878.
Until late 1990 all US bills were printed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing facility in Washington DC. That year the BEP opened a second printing plant in Fort Worth. Bills printed there can be identified by the tiny letters "FW" next to a plate position indicator on the front side.
What is the value of 20 uncirculated dollar bills with consecutive numbers?
Depends on the series. If it is a modern series (1970s-present) as a set they might be worth $21-22 (though good luck getting someone to pay more than face value for them). Early sets or silver certificates are worth a premium.
What is the value of 1935 US 1 dollar bill with a yellow seal?
Yellow-seal $1 bills were issued during WWII for use by troops in North Africa. The words NORTH AFRICA should be printed on the back and the bill's date should be 1935-A. The special color was used so that the bills could quickly be declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.
As of 12/2011 approximate prices are:
Circulated: $10 to $20 depending on the bill's condition
Uncirculated: $200
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 the value of a 1957 G US 1 dollar silver certificate?
B is the highest series letter on a 1957 $1 silver certificate, so you may be looking at a plate indicator or some other marking.
In any case 1957 $1 SC's are not rare; in average condition they generally retail in the $1.25 to $2.00 range regardless of series letter.
What is the value of a 1969 US 1 dollar bill a gold back?
All 1969 US $1 bills have the same back-side design and colors as current $1 bills, so the color change probably is the result of exposure to chemicals or something similar. Without seeing the bill it's difficult to say anything else; it would probably be worth it to have the bill examined by a dealer or appraiser.
What is the value of a 1922 US 50 dollar gold certificate?
A 1922 $50 gold certificate is moderately valuable. As of 01/2012 approximate prices are:

Uncirculated: $2500

Is the 100 dollar bill the largest denomination of currency printed in the US?
Yes. Other denominations currently printed are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, and $50.
$500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills were printed for circulation until 1945. Due to concerns about their use in funding organized crime, in 1969 President Nixon ordered banks to stop distributing them and to withhold any they might receive in deposit. The bills were never formally removed from circulation but after more than four decades they are effectively gone from use.

Please check your bill again. Ulysses S. Grant's picture is on the $50 bill while the $100 bill is graced by Benjamin Franklin. Note that all current American bills have captions on them identifying the person pictured on the front.
In either case, unless the bill is in absolutely crisp, unfolded condition it's only worth face value or maybe a dollar or two more.

Please check your bill again. No US $2 bills are dated 1978. You most likely have a 1976 bill.

How much is a ton of 1 dollar bills worth?
This answer assumes you're referring to an American ton (2000 lbs):
All current US bills weigh almost exactly 1 gm. A US pound is 453.6 gm so 2000 lbs = 2000 x 453.6 gm, which works out to slightly more than 9 million $1 bills.
