US Banknotes

Yes. Collectors will buy these. However they usually aren't worth much more than their face value. The star means that it is a replacement bill. During the production process the original bill with that serial number got damaged and so they made another one with that serial number but this time it has a star beside the serial number to mark it as a replacement bill.

A star in the serial number of any bill, not just a silver certificate, means that the original bill bearing that serial number had a defect and was destroyed.

Because bills are printed in large groups it's impractical to reprint specific serial numbers. Instead, a new set of serial numbers is started and a star is added to indicate that these notes are replacements. Collectors generally prefer star notes and it may make the bill be worth a bit more.

I'm guessing this is a series 1935 A Brown Seal with Hawaii printed large on the reverse and small on the obverse. Based on condition, the value can range from $10.00 to $50.00 in fine to x-fine condition and in perfect, uncirculated condition can pull in well over $100.00 in a successful auction.

Answered at the end of 2011, so currency collecting isn't exactly hot right now, as people are struggling just to make the new stuff, much less collect the old stuff. In a good economy, these rare currencies will fetch a much higher premium. My advice, put it in a plastic holder, seal the holder, put it in a thick book (don't forget where and leave it to your kids or grandkids as they will only appreciate in value as time claims the ones that exist. Let's face it, some of the 1800's currencies can fetch in the thousands, and these bills will too eventually, especially since there is history attached to them.

The series of a bill in US currency refers to when the bill was last redesigned, not to the year it was printed, so 1976 IS the series.

The bill was redesigned in 1976 (the front looks pretty much the same, except that different people were Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury than the last time the bill had been printed, and the 1976 serial numbers were printed in green rather than red, but the back is entirely different), so it's "Series 1976".

By convention, the year is updated for "major" changes, and a letter is added for "minor" changes. Changing the signature of the treasurer is considered a minor change; after 1974, changing the signature of the secretary of the treasury is considered a major change (prior to that, changing either signature was a minor change).

There are also series 1, series 2, etc. bills, but these are all from before the 20th century. At least by 1914 the new system where the series number represents the design year was in use, and all modern small-sized bills use this format.

1990

Your bill should also have a large eagle above the pictures of Lincoln and Grant. If so, your bill is usually called a "black eagle note".

Without knowing its condition and which signature combinations are on your bill, it's difficult to estimate a value. The most common ones sell for $45 to $150 if circulated, and $250 to $400 if uncirculated. Given those price ranges, your bill would have to be examined in person by a knowledgeable dealer or appraiser to get a more specific value.

$65,000... just kidding you would have to look on the internet for that... try answers.com i hear that website is pretty good for asking stupid questions that no one wants to hear..... have nice day, i hope i helped you in your quest to earn money to pay for your world of warcraft subscription...

If you got it in change it has no extra value. Even a nice uncirculated one sells for only about $12 as of 11/2011.

These bills are normally replicas with no collector value.

You can't redeem them directly at a bank for gold. That was suspended almost 80 years ago, back in 1933, when the US went off the gold standard. However you can always use Federal Reserve Notes or any other form of legal tender to purchase gold on the open market at current retail prices.

No. Any supposed US $1,000,000 bill is a fake - you can buy them in novelty shops for a few bucks.

The highest value Federal Reserve Note ever issued was a Series 1934 $10,000 bill.

The largest US bill of any type was a special $100,000 gold certificate. Small numbers were printed in 1934 and 1935; these bills were never put into circulation but instead were used to transfer large sums between various government departments in the days before electronic funds transfers were possible.

If it's been in circulation (i.e. you got it in change) it has no added value. If it's crisp and uncirculated with no folds, tears, or other wear it might retail for about $3, but you might only get $2.25 or $2.50 from a dealer. Huge numbers of 1976 $2 bills were printed for the Bicentennial and they're very common among collectors.

The smallest U.S. one dollar coins are the Liberty Head gold dollars made from 1849 to 1854. The coins only weigh 1.672 grams and have a diameter of 13mm.

A star in the serial number of any bill means that the original bill bearing that serial number had a defect and was destroyed.

This is a common date and is worth $1.25-$1.50 in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition they are worth $3.00 or more.

Post a new question and include the date and condition of the note you are referring to.

"Changing" a bill means getting coins for it. A bank will take any valid US currency regardless of age and give you its face value in lower-denomination bills.

HOWEVER .... if you mean "where can you redeem it for silver?", the answer is that you can't. That practice ended in 1968 after the price of silver was deregulated.

Bottom line: Depending on the date and condition of the bill, it could be worth more than $1 as a collectible. Check to see if there's a small letter under the date, and look for questions in the form "What is the value of a 19xx (letter) US 1 dollar silver certificate?" e.g. "What is the value of a 1957 US ..." or "What is the value of a 1935 B US ...."

There was never a 1934 G US $10 bill. The highest series letter, which appears by the date, was D. The "G" is almost certainly the letter code for the Chicago Federal Reserve District that distributed the bill; that's not the same as the series letter.

Check to see what letter is next to the date. It could be blank or A to D. Then see "What is the value of a 1934 [letter] US 10 dollar bill?" for more information.

There really aren't any "rare" serial numbers, all serial numbers are only used once on a particular denomination/issuing bank/series. The most in demand are the first notes and the last notes of each series. Also in demand are the ones with all consecutive numbers (such as the serial number being all 4s or 7s), also popular with some collectors are radar notes, notes with serial numbers that are the same backwards and forwards.

Overall though, the paper money market is pretty cold right now and it is a lot harder to sell an interesting note, particularly a modern note with an interesting serial number than something like a rare coin.

To clear things up the bill isn't from Kansas City and it wasn't minted. First, Kansas City is the Federal Reserve District that distributed the bill so it carries that city's name and district letter. Second, the term "mint" is used for coins; bills are printed. In particular, your bill was printed in Washington DC as were all US bills up till the late 1980s.
