US Banknotes

Because this is two separate questions combined into one, please see the two specific Related Questions linked below.

The value of these bills (United States Notes) depends greatly on the date and condition. The three common dates are 1963 (last printed), 1953, and 1928 (first small size red seal notes). Most are not extraordinarily valuable but some are, moreso if they are clean and not badly worn.

You should post a question listing the year (with letter if any) and condition, in order to get any kind of meaningful valuation. Few will command the types of prices seen on auction sites. Collectible bills are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Or face value, because they are still legal tender.

*The $2 bill was a United States Note for much of its existence, and these are more readily seen than the $5 bills. The $1 notes (1928) are much rarer and hence more valuable overall.

C is the highest series letter on a 1953 US $2 bill. The series letter, if any, is next to the date so you may be looking at a plate position indicator or some other symbol. Please see the Related Question for more information.

200 dollars.

The date on 1966 US $100 bills is located to the bottom-right of Franklin's portrait at roughly the 4:00 position, to the left of the Treasury Secretary's signature.

They were first issued in 1886.

I have a 2 dollar bill with Jefferson on it, serial number B 06184684 A. The 2's are in silver, the writing unites states of America, two dollars, and behind Jefferson's head are also in silver. What does this mean and what is the value, it is uncirculated, Series 2003 A with green seal.

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.
