What is the value of a 1985 US 100 dollar bill with a picture of Grant on it?
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.
What is the value of a 1978 US 2 dollar bill with a green seal?
Please check your bill again. No US $2 bills are dated 1978. You most likely have a 1976 bill.
In any case the green seal indicates that it's a Federal Reserve Note, and any circulated-condition US $2 FRN is only worth face value.
What is the value of a US 1.00 bill dated 1935 with the letter D after the date and a blue sea?

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 silver certificate blue seal series A one dollar bill?
Please post a new, separate question with the bill's date.
How many one million dollar bill were printed by the US bank?
Exactly none.
There is no federal bank called the US Bank, and the largest bill ever printed by the United States was worth $100,000.
Paper money is still usable as long as at least 51% of the note is there.
What is a 1957 silver certificate worth series A01316870B?
these certificates are by no means rare. if it's in a lesser condition you can probably only get $1.50, if it's in a crisp uncirculated condition you can get $5-$7.
What is the value of a 1951 US 10 dollar bill?
No offense, but your question is too vague. There are different series of the $10 bill. It also depends on the condition. But overall they are worth about $15, so you've just earned $5.
CorrectionPlease check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any bills of any denomination with a 1951 date. The nearest dates are 1950 and 1953, depending on the type and denomination.There are 8 possible series letters on 1928 $2 bills. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 2 dollar bill" for details.
To clarify things, the term "funny back" (or funnyback) wasn't used to describe $2 bills. It was applied to the rather garish design used on the reverse of 1928 and 1934 $1 bills. $2 bills carried the then-standard image of Monticello that remained in use until the $2 bill was redesigned in 1976.
What is the highest series letter on a 1935 US 1 dollar silver certificate?
"H" was the highest letter for Series 1935 $1 bills. That subseries was actually printed in the early 1960s!
Prior to 1974 the Treasury only changed series dates when a bill underwent a major redesign. The 1935 series of $1 bills was never updated so series letters incremented every time a new Secretary of the Treasury or US Treasurer took office. That rather absurd situation led to a change in the criteria for assigning a new series date. Beginning in 1974, the series date changes each time a bill is redesigned OR a new Treasury Secretary takes office; the series letter increments only when a new Treasurer takes office during the administration of the same Treasury Secretary.
What is the value of a crispy two dollar bill series a 2003 in mint condition?
It's still worth two dollars.
Why does Lincoln face right on the US 5 dollar bill?
Despite many Internet rumors about why the portraits on US coins and bills face a particular direction, it's purely artistic license.
The portraits are generally inspired by paintings or engravings, so whichever direction the individual faced there is simply reproduced on the coin or bill. For example, the famous Lincoln penny was designed by the sculptor Victor D. Brenner. He had already created a medal honoring Lincoln, and he merely modified the image slightly to adapt it to the front of the cent.
What is the value of a 1935 A US 1 dollar silver certificate with a blue seal?
The blue seal indicates your bill is a silver certificate, a form of paper money issued until the early 1960s. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 A US 1 dollar silver certificate?" for more information.
What is the value of a 1933 US 1 dollar silver certificate?
Please check again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any $1 bills dated 1933, only $10 bills.
What are US banknotes printed on?
Modern US bills are printed on a special paper made from a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen.
Where do you find the issuing bank on a US bill?
The term "issuing bank" can mean a couple of things. On modern bills it refers to the Federal Reserve Bank district that distributed the bill, while on older bills it can refer to the bank that actually printed the bill (FRN's are printed only in Washington and Fort Worth).
Assuming you're referring only to modern FRN's there are two possibilities:
- If the bill has a black seal with a large letter or number in the center, the letter, number, and possible wording in the seal will identify the issuing Federal Reserve Bank. These seals are used on current $1 and $2 bills, and were used on higher denominations prior to the redesign program begun in 1990.
- If the bill is $5 or higher and the black seal simply says "United States Federal Reserve System", the district letter and number appear in the upper left corner of the bill's front. The district letter is repeated as the second character of the serial number.
The codes for each district are as follows:
- A / 1: Boston
- B / 2: New York
- C / 3: Philadelphia
- D / 4: Cleveland
- E / 5: Richmond
- F / 6: Atlanta
- G / 7: Chicago
- H / 8: St. Louis
- I / 9: Minneapolis
- J / 10: Kansas City
- K / 11: Dallas
- L / 12: San Francisco
What is the value of 1934 C Hawaii 20 dollar bill with a red seal?
Please check your bill again. All HAWAII-overprint bills had brown seals rather than red, and "A" was the highest series letter used on $20 bills.
There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 20 dollar bill with HAWAII on it?".
Is a US 2 dollar bill worth more with a red seal or a green seal?
The $2.00 bill is worth more with the red seal cause the ones with green seals aren't that rare
More:
Red-seal $2 bills were discontinued in 1963 so most that you find will be less common because they're older and have been out of circulation for decades. However depending on the date and condition some may only be worth a small amount above face value, as low as 50 cents extra.
No new $2 bills were printed until 1976. Starting with that date all $2 bills have been issued as green-seal Federal Reserve Notes.
What can you do with a 1934 100000 dollar replica gold certificate?
keep it as collection and continue to find a real buyer if it is genuine, if it is fake post it on your house balcony on frame it will attract luck in your home, your [sic, s/b "you're" ] lucky to have one if its [s/b "it's"] real.
Correction
You can stop with the word "replica" because a replica of any US bill is effectively worth only what it cost in the novelty or gift shop that sold it. They're not legal tender, clearly, and are of interest only to collectors of novelty items and not banknote collectors.
In particular, no genuine $100,000 bills were ever put into circulation. They were printed for use within the Federal Reserve System; all but a few were later destroyed and those that remained are accounted for.
Finally, paper money cannot either attract luck or be unlucky any more than a piece of newsprint or a paper napkin.
What is the value of a 1961 US silver certificate?
Please check again and post a new, separate question. The last silver certificates were printed with the date 1957. No US bills are dated 1961.
