US Banknotes

$1000

You can no longer redeem them since early 70s I believe

Current US bills weigh exactly one gram per note (bill). There are four hundred fifty-four grams (rounded to the nearest whole number) in one pound. Therefore, one pound of U.S. $100 bills would be worth about: $45,400!!!

This error can be worth $100 to $200 depending on the bill's condition.

It's called a "stuck counter" error, and occurs when the two counters that print the serial numbers get out of sync with each other. It's subtle and easy to miss.

All US $100 bills printed since 1969 have been Federal Reserve Notes with green seals. The last blue-seal $100 bills were dated 1918.

It's possible your bill was exposed to a chemical that changed the ink's color. Some strong detergents have been known to alter the blue/yellow balance in the ink used for the seal and serial numbers. You'd need to have it inspected in person to be sure, though.

There were no series letters on 1923 $1 United States Notes; you may be looking at a plate position indicator or some other "housekeeping" mark.

In any case this is a moderately valuable bill compared to its blue-seal silver certificate cousin. As of 06/2014 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $90 to $150 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $400

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.

There were no $2 bills printed with the date 1923. If you mean 1928, please see the Related Question for more information.

There weren't any series letters on 2003 $1 bills. You may be looking at the Federal Reserve District letter instead.

In any case a 2003 $1 bill is too new to have any added value, even in uncirculated condition.

No. In fact, most paper currency is fairly dirty, at least at a microbial level.

In any case increased reliance on antibacterial agents in soaps, hand-sanitizers, etc. has backfired by encouraging the survival of the most resistant strains of "bugs".

The US didn't print any $2 bills (or any other denominations, for that matter) dated 1952. Please check your bill and post a new question.

no. 3 dollar bills never existed. 2 dollar bills were invented during the 1500s though.

During World War 2, American Troops in North Africa were paid in money with yellow printing. The idea was that if they were captured by the Germans, then it would be easy to make the money no good. Since the Germans lost in North Africa, the money remained good and could be used when the solders returned to the United States. You may have one of those bills.

As of 03/2010, auction prices are $20.-$60. for a circulated 1934A $5 North Africa bill, while an uncirculated one could sell for $250. or more.

You can't spend it but if you have more than roughly 2/3 of the bill AND it shows at least one complete serial number, you can ask a bank to replace it for you.

The reason is because the image on the back is of the Lincoln Memorial, which itself displays the name of the 36 states which were states at the time Lincoln was President. Given that only the front of the building is visible, only the 26 states listed on the front can be seen.

abou 17-20$...

Nothing. You have to have both serial numbers before it has value...unless you tape it back together.

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The last US $100 silver certificates were dated 1891, and no $100 bills were printed in 1923.

What is the value of a red inked two dollar bill

President Andrew Jackson is on the face of the twenty-dollar bill. President Andrew Jackson first appeared on the twenty-dollar bill in 1928. 

Please don't assume that because a bill is old it must be a silver certificate. The last US $20 silver certificates were printed in 1891. As you can see by the banner across the top of the bill and the familiar green ink, it's a Federal Reserve Note.

The largest currently in use is $100.00.

Up till WWII, the Treasury also issued $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 bills for general circulation. Production was ended due to low demand. In 1969 the government ordered a halt to their distribution through the banking system in an effort to curtail their use in criminal activities. Large-denomination bills were never formally recalled, although banks are required to keep any that are redeemed and send them back to the Treasury.

$500 through $10,000 bills are technically still legal to spend at face value, but doing so would be foolish because almost all of them are worth much more as collectibles.

The largest bank notes the US ever printed were the 1934-series $100,000 gold certificates. They were intended for transactions between branches of the Federal Reserve and featured a picture of Woodrow Wilson. These special bills were never put into general circulation and are illegal for private citizens to own. Most were destroyed in the 1960s; only a few were saved for museums.

All current US bills are 0.11 mm thick.

The US didn't print any $10 gold certificates dated 1926. If the date is 1928 , please see the Related Question.
