Most large size two-dollar bills issued from 1862 through 1918, are highly collectible and are worth at least $100 in well-circulated condition. Uncirculated large size notes are worth at least $500 and can go up to $10,000 or more.

WHY THE TWO IS SO RARE: The $2 bill was in that first printing, along with the $1 bill, but it took a while for paper money to catch on. That’s because a lot of folks made less than $15 a month before the turn of the century. Inflation slowly brought the value of paper money down, but then the Great Depression hit.

The modern $2 bill was reissued during the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. A ’76 postmark is the best one you can have, said Robin Sisler, a curator at the American Numismatic Association, which runs the Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo. He said the stamp puts the value of the bill at about $35.

Look for the following symbols or patterns that can indicate a valuable 2-dollar bill:

1. Palindromes – Also called “radar notes,” these serial numbers read the same whether you look at them backwards or forwards.
2. Repeated numbers – If the serial number repeats, this is rare and more valuable.

The 1963 $2 star notes are worth around $12 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $45 for notes with an MS 63 grade. The 1963A $2 star notes are worth around $12 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $90 for notes with an MS 63 grade.

In very fine condition these bills only sell for around $3.50. In uncirculated condition most bills only sell for around $12-17.50. The 1935 series is worth more than the 1957 one dollar silver certificate notes, which have a similar look.

Plus you have all of the standard 1935, 1935A, 1935B, 1935C, 1935D, 1935E, 1935F, 1935G, and 1935H issues. Value: Your garden variety 1935 (with any series letter) $1 silver certificate is worth about $1.50. Hawaii notes are worth about $25, as are yellow seal North Africa notes.

As mentioned, these bills aren’t worth much. The 1957 $1 silver certificates are worth around $3.75 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $12-12.50 for bills with an MS 63 grade.

That also goes for any combination of letters like 1957B or 1935F. They are all worth around $1.50 in circulated condition and about $5 in perfect condition.

The blue seal on United States Federal Reserve Bank Notes means that the currency is backed by silver.

Silver Certificate Dollar Bill FAQs The rarest silver certificate dollar bills are the 1928C, 1928D, and 1928E versions. Any notes that fall into these categories can fetch anywhere between $125 and $600 as long as they’re in fine condition.

These Rare Dollar Bills Are Worth Serious Money

1. Seven repeating digits in a row on $1 bills (i.e., 18888888, 59999999)

Most $500 notes in circulation today are in the hands of dealers and collectors. Although no longer in circulation, the $500 bill remains legal tender.

Star serial number bills: up to $500 Most aren’t worth a lot more than their face value, but the most valuable fetch up to $500 so if you find one make sure you don’t spend it.

The common signature combination sells for about $100 in perfect condition. The rare signature combination from the series sells for about $1,000 in perfect condition. A heavily circulated 1899 one dollar bill usually sells for around $50. The same note in gem uncirculated condition is usually worth closer to $1,000.

Originally Answered: Can I still use an old 100 dollar bill? Yes – they remain valid indefinitely. However, a shop might refuse it because they don’t recognise it and think it might be a fake. You may have to take it to your bank and get them to change it for a current one.
