How much is the two dollar certifcate bill worth?

Answer 1

Depends on the series. If its series 1976-present it is quite common and only worth $2 unless in crisp uncirculated or if it has an unusual serial number (such as 0000000001 or 777777777, etc.). If its prior to series 1976 (if it has a seal other than green) it is worth more than $2, but the true value depends on the series. For example, a series 1953 United States Note $2 in poor condition may be only worth $2.25 while a 1899 $2 silver certificate may be worth $30+ even in less than perfect condition. In general, the older the series the more the bill is worth in the same condition, but a perfect condition 1953 $2 might be worth more than a 1928 $2 in poor condition.

MoreMany people mistakenly believe that all old $2 bills were issued as silver certificates. In fact, the last such bills were printed in the 1899 series as cited. With one exception (1918 National Currency notes) all $2 bills issued since then have been either United States Notes (1917 and 1928-63) or Federal Reserve Notes (1976-present), neither of which could be redeemed for silver.
