How many 1953 red seal star notes were minted, also why is the star at the beginning of the serial number? (That’s my only bill with the star at the beginning of the serial number)

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

The reason for stars is explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6PNinenbZqmaM0 There are rarely stats for how many stars are printed because as you'll see, they're made just to fill in for errors that break the serial number sequence.

Went to my local bank and asked for two dollar bills. They had one and it was in bad shape. I asked "when do you get new ones in?" They said they didn't get twos in. I said " so you don't get much call for them huh?" The lady said "OH yes, all the time". I said "Huh?, people ask for them but you don't carry them? Good thing you're not a retail business."

I have a 1953 series * note red seal $2 bill thats serial number starts with * 0000. I understand that the signifies a reprint of the original bill. Couple of questions, does the * in 1953 also mean the bill was reprinted? Does the low serial number starting 0000 add any value to the note?

[@Slammy555]

My 1928F $2 bill looks better than my 1976 $2 bills. Too bad it's not worth much.

[@theferrones]

I’ve been lucky in the past asking bank tellers for 2 dollar bills. Really old ones came my way. I actually gave one away as a part of a tip because it’s condition was so bad it hurt to look at it. The bank should have destroyed it or sent back to federal reserve to destroy it. What I’d really like to find in my stocking in Christmas some day is a 5000 dollar bill. They’re way out of circulation which makes them so valuable. So I’d settle for a ten dollar coin. They can be worth a bunch of money depending on variables. Because the intrinsic value always stays put.

[@ILive2Rescue]

I have always been fascinated by $2 bills! Ever since my first niece was born in 1992 I started enclosing $2 bills, 50 Cent pieces, and $1 coins when they came out, in her birthday cards, as well as *every* child’s birthday card in my family & for friends children since then. I always encouraged the children and their parents to save some (if not all) of those notes and coins. (Don’t worry, they received “everyday” money they could spend, along with their gifts too. 😉 😊) Unfortunately, not a single person has _even one_ note _or coin_ that I’ve given them through the years. 🤷🏼‍♀️ *Funny story:* For the past 20 years, or so, whenever I get paid, I go to the bank and get as many $2 they have just to spend in my everyday life. It’s always fun to see the expression on people’s faces when you pay for something with $2 bills. It never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t realize $2 bills are *real money* though. On more than one occasion I’ve had people flat out tell me that they aren’t real. However, no one can top the experience I had at a KFC several years ago. The young lady behind the counter was _extremely_ rude, telling me that I can’t use “Monopoly money” to pay for my food. I tried to explain to her that it was real, and if she didn’t want to take them as payment I’d gladly pay with a $20 bill. _However,_ she took it a step further and *refused* to give me my $2 bills back, and threatened to call the police on me for *FRAUD!* I asked for the manager, and _even he_ said that there isn’t any such thing as $2 bills; and now they *both* refused to give my money back to me, and I was told to leave and *never* come back. Finally, after a lengthy standoff, the manager finally called the police, telling them I was trying to pay for food with “fake” money. As soon as they called the police I sat my happy butt down and waited for the fun to begin. Both the cashier _and manager_ were taunting me, laughing while exclaiming how they couldn’t wait to see me carted off to jail in handcuffs. I just quietly sat there smiling. I’m sure you can picture their embarrassment when two police officers showed up, expecting to arrest some chic trying to commit fraud, only to finally be _convinced_ (yes, they had to be convinced, even from _two_ police officers) that $2 bills are in fact, *real money.*

Happens fairly often, especially where the employees are poorly educated low wage workers. Also happens at gas stations owned by new immigrants.

You mentioned that when the currency became smaller in 1928, that only the 1, 2, and 5's were issued in red seals. However, you forgot about the 1966 series $100 bill. That bill also has a red seal. I'm a avid collector of United states notes so this video was like cat nip to me.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Thanks for the comment. We actually didn't forget about the 1966 $100 - we just chose to leave it out. In writing the script for this piece and including that bill, it was tough to piece together a chronology knowing we were describing what happened in 1928, but then having to mention a 1966 bill (which is when the $2 was discontinued). So for purposes of not making this video about a $2 bill overly confusing, we decided that the $100 bill was not a key component to tell this story.

Why George Washington is on the bill can be answered in this previous video about why Jefferson is on the bill; it's mostly the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWW7goeDidSAgcU The 1953 and 63 bills look mostly the same because they don't change the design every time they reprint, which is why the current $2 bill has looked the same despite 10 different printings since 1976. We did note the small change from '53 to '63 in this video. And finally, sorry, we only give out green seal bills here, and only if we make a video out of your question.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

They will never be valuable. There were 400 million made, so they're not rare. They're not special either, even though they were released as a new item at the time of a nation's celebration. They're just regular currency, like any other denomination. People treat them differently for some reason. Time to stop doing that. Spend them like any other bill you have, unless you can find a sucker on eBay to pay you more than face value for them.

[@eyehatefarcebook11]

Officially, the Series 1963A was the last issued red seal $2 note. That had been printed and issued til about the late 60's in limited quantities. It has the Fowler signature as Secretary of the Treasury, not Dillon's. Still worth keeping however.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Correct. We started this video thinking we would mention the A-G series of 1928s, the A-C of 1953 as well as the 1963A. But it got tedious so we took it out. Still interesting that the 1963 series in total had such a small printing before the bill was officially removed from circulation.

[@rogersheddy.8497]

You didn't cover the 1966 series United States note $100 bill. That was the very last United States note ever issued by the federal government. So what's the deal with that?

[@eyehatefarcebook11]

Roger Sheddy. Good point. Those are very scarce to rare. Here's the lowdown in my opinion. Most of those really didn't circulate because #1. The 1966 Series with the Granahan-Fowler signature combination was printed during a one month span in 1968 to fulfill the obligation of having a certain dollar amount of United States Notes in circulation. #2. Star notes in the 1966 series are quite rare, a very miniscule amount printed. #3. The 1966A with Elston-Kennedy signature combination printed in 1971; is going to be rare only because presumably most of those notes were destroyed in the 90's as they were remained in Treasury vaults marked as unissued.

[@rogersheddy.8497]

I think you'll be interested to know... I looked into the wheresgeorge website and found right up top they had a whole bunch of the Red Seal 1966 series hundreds that they had marked and put back into circulation.

When I was a supervisor at a theater concession stand, someone spent two of the 1953 ones at one of our tills. I still have them inside a book, because unfortunately they were pretty worn and looked to have been widely undesirable.

Is it true they stopped printing 2 dollar bills in 2017? If so does that make them more desirable? Also are there 2 dollar web notes?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

They've printed them since 2017, and they will continue to print them as long as demand hold up. No green seal $2 bill (any since 1976) are worth more than $2 unless it's got a fancy serial number or error. Like any bill, it's worth its face value.

[@Jenjenn0710]

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary oh see someone had said there were 5 bills out of print. The 10,000, 5,000, 1,000 500 and the 2. Thanks for the clarification! We checked ours. No webs, no stars, no chromatic, or block cerial numbers. All green.

Once there was this man ballin, he had 100 of these just to order a sausage biscuit and every single day.

[@FrostbyteCoins]

I have two of these. Nothing fancy about the serial numbers, but they are in good shape.

[@YoloBagels]

You should do a video on the horse blanket sized $2's. Particularly the series 1917.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

We did a video on the 1918 already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a53QlXWjhr2Wfbc The 1917 is a cool bill and we'll definitely consider it.

[@eddiesalazar8770]

I have a red seal $2 bill it's a 1953 I got it in 1977 when I bought something in High School I got it as change

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

What condition is it in? Does it have a star anywhere in the serial number? The bill is worth a little more just for being a red seal, but if it's in great shape it could have a little more value.

[@HotBoyQuezzy5689]

I have 6 of the red ones

[@TexasBig]

****I remember a story from an old friend that used $2 notes in giving change in his Texas Inspection business. People loved it, but few rejected them as if cursed. At Christmas he gifted some to his grandchildren and one went complaining to their mother and stated, "Why did Papaw give us fake money?" Loved the story, but miss the old guy more. Some people spend their entire life to get so little at the end, and so few get sooo much with so little.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Great tale - thanks for sharing. Those grandchildren aren't the only ones who think $2s are fake money! I make them available on my film's website, and the main question that I get (so often that I had to add it an FAQ section) is, "are they real?". Of course they are!

What do you think that money collector from abroad like me, how can we get 2 dollar bills?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Probably eBay. You'll have to pay more than they're worth, plus international shipping. You could try Amazon as well.

Why did they stop making $2 bills after series 1963, but started making them again in series 1976? Was there any significance of those dates?

[@littlefatguybombs9228]

Do you live in America?

[@drewlew18]

@@littlefatguybombs9228 yes... I get why they chose to start making them again in 1976, but why stop in 1963?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

This video mentions it... low demand and low usage led to the decision to stop making them. They were brought back in 76 in part because of the Bicentennial celebration, but also because it saves money in printing costs. You can twice as much money by printing twos instead of ones. They're very practical that way, but people just aren't using them.

[@drewlew18]

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Thanks!! :)

[@SouthernCoin]

Why does everyone think that $2 bills are not made anymore and are now an "obsolete" currency?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

I don't know, but this channel is all about correcting that!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

@@isaiahammar8130 You could almost say the same thing in your last sentence about current $2 bills. People hoard them, and then no one sees them, so others think they're rare. But on top of what you said, most banks that get red seal bills do in fact send them back to the Fed for destruction. That, and their "uniqueness" being red seal bills and not green, leads people to horde them because they assume they have more value. They do, but not much. Your comment is a good one, and I think it combines with what I added to be a good answer to this question.

Red ones have some value, as this video describes. Your blue ones must be larger size bills and definitely have value. Not sure what the brown ones are. Maybe more of a dark red? Definitely older.
