US Banknotes

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".

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

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.

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.

All current US bills are 0.11 mm thick.

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.

The U.S. didn't print any bills dated 1930.

As of 03/2010 auction values are $2.75 - $5.50 for a circulated bill and $12. or more for an uncirculated one.

The red seal indicates that the bill is a United States Note, an alternate form of currency issued up until 1966. US Notes were discontinued because they served the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes.

As of 12/2010 average retail prices range from $25 to about $80 for a circulated bill, and over $550 for a bill in brand-new condition.

Special bills were printed for use in Hawaii and North Africa during WWII. They had the names of those locations printed in large letters and used brown or yellow ink so that they would be readily recognizable, and could be quickly declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.

It depends on the condition of the note. If it is in well circulated, worn condition, it could be worth up to $100. If it is in crisp uncirculated condition, it could be worth thousands, or even tens of thousands, depending on the series/signatures.

In no case is it worth less than $50, and there is a premium attached to all gold certificates, regard of condition.

Its worth about $2.

Actually, that wording isn't on Federal Reserve Notes. It's on old silver and gold certificates. But in any case you're at least 4 decades too late. Those promises made at a time when both the prices of gold and silver and access to those metals were controlled by the US Treasury, and were removed from paper money long ago.

When the US went off the gold standard back in 1933 as part of efforts to end the Depression, gold certificates were withdrawn from circulation and were no longer allowed to be converted. Similarly, when the price of silver was decontrolled in the 1960s, the Treasury stopped redemption of silver certificates for metal. Silver certificates were allowed to remain in circulation but could no longer be converted.

Like stock certificates from a company that's no longer in business, the written promises are effectively null and void.
