    Great installment. I collect two dollar bills two way. Large Size by type. Small size by series. My type collection is complete except I need a "Lazy Deuce". My small size series collection is complete. Maybe you could do a spot on the "Lazy Deuce". You may have done that in one of your past episodes. As to packs of stars I have tried and tried to get a pack of stars to no avail. Keep up the updates.

    Great video as always. I only have the one $2. I’m in the UK and bought it on eBay (probably double it’s value) but I just really like them! And it’s all down to your videos. Won’t be buying anymore, but I do treasure the one I have.

    I 💘😻love $2.00 bills. I have number of them, and recently got some from the bank,
    from circulation of recent issue. I have them
    back to the 1928 Red Seal notes.

      I've know people to do that with 50 cent pieces hoping that they will be silver many times they are. From the bank that is.

    I find Banks that sell $2.00 bills and I spend them. They are cool to have and spend in Texas. I drive to Abilene, TX from Gatesville, TX sadly i have to drive 1-5 hours and opening up an account just to buy them!

    I have almost every single friedberg number both large and small $2 bills. The only small notes that will really have value are unlikely to be found at a bank, you will have to hunt through eBay and currency shows and even then it will be hard to find what you are looking for after a while. Stars from the bank are good only if you keep them in great condition. Once it’s spent it will be worth a lot less over face value. Spend the loose bank ones for fun

      @@LuisHernandez-pt7xw There was nothing random about it.
      The Series 1976 and later $2 notes have green seals and serial numbers to indicate that they are Federal Reserve Notes.
      The $2 notes with the 'Monticello' backs were United States Notes which bore red seals and serial numbers. The last United States Notes were the Series 1966 $100.
      Silver Certificates were replaced with FRN from Series 1963 onward.
      Back in the day, there were different types of currency in the U.S. with different backing / obligations;
      United States Notes were backed by bonds held in the U. S. Treasury
      Silver Certificates were backed by silver held in the U.S. Treasury.
      Federal Reserve Notes are 'fiat currency'
      From 1928 onward the color codes were:
      Federal Reserve - Green seal and numbers
      Silver Certificates - Blue seal and numbers
      United States Note - Red seal and numbers
      Gold Certificates - Yellow seal, numbers
      Legal Tender Notes (FRBN) - Brown seal, numbers
      There were special notes issued during WW2 for use in North Africa (yellow seal Silver Certificates) and Hawaii (Silver Certs and FRN with brown seal, 'HAWAII' overprint).
      From the 1970s onward, only Federal Reserve Notes have been commonly seen in circulation. On rare occasion an old 'red seal' $2 or $5 will show up or a $1 Silver Certificate (blue).

      They haven't made the $500 in a long while, and they still make $2s, so there is a big rarity disparity. This video goes into a little detail. czcams.com/video/p_W1dEOjJ6M/video.html

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 2 lety

      What does 1801 to 2000 mean? Is that the last 4 digits of the serial number? Your bills are probably not worth more than $2 each, although some collectors may pay a bit more for so many in sequence.

    There ain't no money in paper. That $200 Red Note at $18 per note is $1,800. 75 years ago, Gold was $35 ounce. So today that same $200 would be $11,000! That's a terrible investment.

      It's a terrible investment in that the value will not increase. Yes, you'll always have the face value, but would you buy a stock if it never budged up or down? That's his point.
