What a gold treasury seal means on old currency

[@larryhagemann5548]

Very informative little video, packed with goodies. Thank you.

[@tylermattison1912]

This was a good video! Good job!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Thank you!

[@dumpnchase]

Thanks for the videos. I always enjoy them and learn something.

[@richard1113]

Boy, I tell you. I think I know things about currency but I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Great to hear! Thanks for the comment.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

I always wanted to know about the color meanings. Thanks for showing the lesser known bills. I had an old $10 note that a couple of my co workers said was fake,but it was confirmed by a bank.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Thanks for watching! How old was your $10 bill? What color treasury seal did it have?

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary I think it was 1934 and green.

[@richardwoodell5772]

The gold certificates Series 1934 were in denominations of $100, $1,000, $10,000, and $100,000. They were used solely for gold transactions between the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks. None of them ever circulated outside the government. In face, it is illegal for a private citizen to possess one of them! You can see them, however at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and some museums. As far as the $100,000 bill is concerned, there are only a dozen or so still remaining, and All of them have been accounted for! So if someone ever approaches you about giving change for his $100,000 bill, politely, but firmly, remind him he's breaking the law!

One thing one should note is that the price of gold was set at $20 an ounce but when all the gold was recalled from the ppl, the gubmint ended up raising the price of gold to $35 an ounce..

[@filmaker256]

Well ;lets hope for our sake that the "Gold " Seal goes back on our currency!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Highly unlikely that we'll see that happen unless the Federal Reserve becomes no longer involved in the printing of money. It's gonna be green seals for a very long time.

[@msticks3672]

While there was never a $2 Gold Certificate it was still a good episode. Next you ought to cover "Brown Seals".

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

That's the only color left that we haven't done!

[@roxcyn]

Awesome to hear about these bills

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Thanks for watching! People have been asking about all colors. Only video we haven't made is the brown seals.

[@tylerdouble8325]

I just love these gold certificates how they say redeemable in Gold Coin. I have 2 of them in my currency album. One is from 1922 & the other is 1928.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

What denominations?

[@tylerdouble8721]

I have two $20 Gold Certificates. One with Washington and One with Jackson. * I just recently picked up another 1922 $10 Gold Certificate and another 1922 $20 gold certificate but i had to redeem one of my $20 Gold Certificates ( not really ) for a 1915 Saint Gaudens $20 Gold Piece from Philadelphia *.

[@monarchist1838]

This episode was pure gold

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

So was this comment. Thanks!

[@sherleysreallife]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

My pleasure!

[@lewis7394]

The 3 primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Interestingly, they are the 3 coolest bills (US notes, silver certificates, and gold certificates). Lime green ones from 1934 are cool too!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Working with video, the three primary colors are red, green and blue for sure. Ever heard of RGB? It's everywhere. I've never heard of yellow as a primary color - you get it by mixing red and green.

Once again, I'm talking about video. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

[@Death_From_Below]

Don't forget the Brown Seals on the North Africa Notes

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Almost included those in this, but I guess there could be another colored-seals video in the future now!

[@lukewilson3271]

Can you do a video on the 1995 2s from Atlanta?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

What about them makes them worth having a video on? I'm not sure why they are any different from any other year or district. Please enlighten me!

[@lukewilson3271]

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary they were made specifically for the Olympics and they were only printed in Atlanta that year. I believe that I'm correct about that.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Somehow missed this reply. That's very interesting. I will look into it for a possible video. The Olympics were in Atlanta in 1996, but those bills would have had to be printed in 1995 and thus had that year. They probably made it to the public early in 1996.

[@fpostolache]

Good video. I like the one in the 100000$ denomination but I think not many can give me the change 🤣 Yes, I know that they were used in statal exchanges however...

[@reymariano9373]

We have a 1934 100,000 dollar bill. How much is the value on this days?

[@Loadarine]

Theres a brown seal which is something to do with wars.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Yeah, I almost put the brown seals into this video, but there was enough to talk about with the yellows. Maybe the browns will be the final color-seal video I make!

[@Loadarine]

The Two Dollar Bill Documentary Im from the UK, i dont know much about US Currency, is there more colour seals?

[@BeyondtheAtomm]

What's FR2405? Are all 1928 $100 gold certificate bills FR2405?

[@donaldjones5712]

Canada got rid of their $1 and $2 dollar bills in favor of coins. The US should at least retire the $1 dollar bill.There are soo many $1 coins in existence.

[@drobotgamer]

Man I asked this question but didn't get credit :(

[@drobotgamer]

But mine were based off the hawaii or Africa notes I think. Something about soldiers still confused about that point

[@drobotgamer]

I actually didn't know these gold certificates were a thing. Arent there other yellow bills?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

We didn't list ALL the yellow/gold bills here, as it felt tedious to do so. But there were others, absolutely.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

You were one of very many who sent in this question. I'm sorry I couldn't choose one person to name (or even name them all), but it was a popular submission, which is why I chose this topic.

[@MsBrown-xi4hr]

My dad has a 1934 million dollar C note with the gold seal is it real or not🤔

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Largest bill ever was a $100,000, so no, the million dollar note is not real

[@rogerkinard7446]

Can you please explain what you mean by the Red Seal United States Notes were issued directly by the Government and not by the U.S. Treasury, as it seems to me to be the exact same thing ? Of course neither the United States Notes or the Green Seal Federal Reserve Notes had / have any real backing except the ”full faith and credit of the United States.”

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

The U.S. Treasury currently determines each year's currency print order based on a number of factors, and puts their order in with the Federal Reserve for printing. When red seals were being made, the Treasury was not involved in those decisions; government officials made them. That's about as simple as I can explain it, although there are more nuances to it.

I have a 2 dollar bill❤️❤️❤️
