What makes a US 2 dollar bill rare?
The criteria for rare $2 bills are basically the same as that for any US banknote: its date, its condition, what letter if any is next to the date, and in some cases its seal color.
As a rule of thumb just about every $2 bill printed before 1928 is worth a moderate to significant premium, but you won't find one in change because they were issued as large-size "horseblanket" bills that no longer circulate.
$2 bills dated 1928 through 1963 are the same size as current notes but were printed with red seals. That makes them so unusual they're effectively no longer in circulation either. Most aren't very valuable but ones to look for at estate sales, etc. would be 1928 A and 1928 B.
Other 1928, 1953, and 1963 $2 bills are quite affordable with prices in the $5-$50 range.
Finally, any modern green-seal $2 bill is just an ordinary Federal Reserve Note worth only two bucks. Feel free to spend any and all that you get. They're interesting to use and save money for taxpayers because each bill does the work of one $1 bill.
How much will a 2 dollar bill be worth in 2020?
/* Well any item is projected to increase in value by 10% over a course of ten years. Since $2 bills are worth about $2.50 now, in 2020 they will be worth about $3. So if I were you and had one, I would hold on to it until 3000 when it would be worth around $1,500. */
Not Quite
Current US $2 bills (1976 and later) have no added collector value in circulated condition, and are not expected to increase. Even though they make up less than 1% of all bills in circulation that's still tens of millions of bills, so they're simply too common to be collectors' items.
What does a US 1000 dollar bill look like?
The front had a small picture of President Grover Cleveland in an oval frame positioned in the center of the bill. The number "1000" was in each corner and the border was decorated with ornate scrollwork.
The reverse side had similarly ornate scrollwork surrounding the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. The number "1000" appeared in each corner, tilted at a 45 degree angle. There was no scene or building as is common on lower-value bills.
The last US $1000 bills were printed in 1945, but all carried the series date 1934.
If you use a search engine to look for images, be aware that you may also find a lot of fantasy designs for more-modern $1000 bills but they're only concepts. None are real and so far the Treasury has said it has no plans to print new bills higher than $100.

What is the value of a 1999 22k gold foil 100 dollar Federal Reserve note?
It's not a US Treasury product. It's either:
> a genuine bill that's been coated with gold foil by a private company, in which case it has no collector value and is only worth $100 or
> a completely separate product, again privately made; it's only worth a couple of bucks for the gold foil.
How much is a 1976 twoo dollar bill worth?
Two dollars, perhaps a bit more in exceptional condition. But modern two dollar bills are simply worth face value unless they are in mint condition, in which case they could be worth a lot more. Also, if the serial number of the bill is unusual or it is a star note, that could also increase the value of it. But if it has been folded, ripped, gotten wet, or otherwise defaced, it isn't worth more than $2.

What is the value of a 1963 US 5 dollar bill with a red seal?
Despite its age, 1963 $5 US Notes aren't considered rare. As of 10/2010 auction prices are in the range of face value to $7 for a bill in circulated condition. A nice uncirculated one can bring $15 to $18, though.
The bill's red ink indicates that it's a United States Note, a form of currency that was issued from 1862 to 1966. They served the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes, so the Treasury opted to consolidate all paper money under the Federal Reserve as a cost-saving move.
The 1963 $5 United States Note (red seal) is worth $18-$20 in mint uncirculated condition and $5-$8 in fine quality. A normal, wrinkled, used note is worth exactly $5 in any store.
Despite the bill's age and (by modern standards) unusual ink color, circulated ones aren't considered scarce. They might retail for $7-8 in average condition.
If your bill is crisp and uncirculated it might retail for $15-18.
Why red printing?
The use of red ink indicates the bill is a United States Note, a type of currency issued up till 1966. US Notes were essentially identical to Federal Reserve Notes in terms of design, printing, distribution, and financial backing from the Treasury. Rather than continue to print two separate types of bills the Treasury decided that it would be more cost-effective to suspend printing of US Notes, and all bills are now green-seal Federal Reserve Notes.
Serial numbers
It's normally not necessary to provide a bill's serial number. Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value. 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 1963 F3 US 2 dollar bill with a red seal?

Are 1934 US 20 dollar bills in circulation?
It's extremely doubtful. The 1934 series ended in the late 1940s so the chances that a bill would survive that long in general circulation are extremely low. Banks remove worn currency and return it to the Treasury for destruction, and it's also very possible that any old bill could be snapped up as a keepsake, collectible, or curiosity before it's removed by a bank.
About the only way you'd find one in circulation would be if someone had old bills saved away somewhere (a drawer, shoebox, etc.) and spent them at face value, AND you were next in line to receive them in change. That scenario can and does happen.
It's worth noting that except for gold certificates, the Treasury has never withdrawn or demonetized any standard-issue paper money. No matter how old a bill is it's still technically legal tender at face value. Of course spending a collectible bill at face value isn't really a smart financial move!

Are silver certificates worth anything more than one dollar?
Generally yes, but it depends very much on their dates. Bills from the final series (dated 1957) are so common among collectors that even half a century later they're only worth $1.50 or so in average condition.
Older silver certificates' values vary widely, so at a minimum a date and series letter are needed to estimate a value.

That is 1937 in roman numerals so it is probably a 1937 series bill.
