$50 bills: as rare as the 2 dollar bill?

- How does the 50 dollar bill compare to the 2 dollar bill? In more ways than you think! They have a similar history, and there isn't much of a difference in the number of bills currently in circulation. Learn all about the $50 bill and how it and the $2 bill went through history as a silver certificate and a variety of other banknotes leading to their current status as a federal reserve note. You'll see Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin and of course, Ulysses S. Grant and Thomas Jefferson along the way.

i love 50 dollar bills, whenever i take my tip money to the bank to exchange it, i always get some 50s and occasionally a 100 or two, and some 2 dollar bills if they have them
I love the $50. My first submarine was the U.S.S. Ulysses S. Grant SSBN-631. I have a couple $50 star notes tucked away.
I have a golden 2 dollar note for the navy and us army i send u a pictuŕe if u want
My older brother works in fast food and has seen more 50s in the last few years. He said it might have to something to do with inflation starting to catch up with the 20
Possibly, although some fast food places don't even take bills that high. Where does he work?
I love the $50 dollar bill I dont know why I just think more unique looking than the other bills.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary In Pigeon Forge, many areas refuse to accept $50s or higher. In one place that doesn't accept credit cards, they don't accept $20 bills. What gives? I guess TN is super paranoid, being in a tourist area.

I work as a mechanic and see $50 bills and $100 everyday lol customers always bring them in I have even got some oldies and star notes from it. Never have gotten a $2 at my shop though.
I once found a $50 in the parking lot of my high school and hung onto it for over a year since it was the first time I had ever seen a $50 in person, plus it had my name on it (my first name is the same as Ulysses's last name) so I can say I've held onto a $50 for good luck even though I've never permanently put one into any collection.
Did you keep it in your wallet or somewhere else? If the wallet, you'd definitely be the first I heard of! Thanks for sharing this story.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary I kept it in my wallet for over a year since I was 12 and $50 was more than I knew what to do with at the time, I figured that I'd always have money that way.
So you are now the first person I ever heard about who kept one in their wallet! Nice job.
@@DoubleGG5666If you still have it, Put it in your collection!!!
$50, $10 and $2 are my favorite and most useful bills
I like the way how you show them the $50 bill and the two dollar bill
Neat variation on the $2 Bill Movie. And your data on the various $50 was spot on. All your examples were correct and I'm sure most people will find it very interesting. Great job. But I still think a episode on the $2.50 Gold Coin would be a lot of fun too!
If I passed the msticks test, I know I did well! I got your email and I will send a 2 soon - using them at ATMs right now and filming it to see how many get taken. I'll be reloading soon
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary I would be very surprised if an ATM accepted a $2 bill but you never know until you try it. Interested to see that video too.
I guess one of the reasons why 50s seem to be less common is because large amounts of money tend to be split in multiples of 20 - this is the way it is with the pound over here in the U.K., where the 50 pound note (our largest denomination) is very rarely seen outside large transactions and generally has to be withdrawn from banks. When you withdraw 100 pounds from a cash point it’s either broken into 5 20s or a mix of 20s and 10s.
Good point. ATMS here dispense mostly $20s, but you can get $50s now too. Larger transactions here in the US are usually done with debit or credit cards, so the $50 just doesn't have much practical use. Still, no one considers it rare even though you don't see it much.
I also like the 50 dollar bill. It's almost half of the 100 dollar bill. But either way 50 or 100 I like both.
I used a $50 bill as a 50th birthday present to my mother! She loved the gesture.
Its Charles's 20th birthday.......,Well.that isnt bad
I love your channel & content! Please keep it up.
Thank you! Will do!
Learned a lot thanks to you.Very nice facts & narration.I'm going to ask a question too.Wishing good luck for myself to win 2$ bill..LOL.
I have seen 50's show up more often than 2's...including two 50's in my most recent Advent Calendar.
Colorful, beautiful, and enjoyable👍🙏🏽👍
Thanks for these videos 👍🙏🏽👍🙏🏽👍🙏🏽👍🙏🏽
Thank you!
I like the look of 50s
I had a $50 bill and I kept it in my wallet for a while and I didn't never want to spend it and eventually I spend it on something and the next time I got caught up with another $50 bill I saved it in my wallet
Oh that's why I got only $20 bills from the ATM in the US. As a traveler from Europe I was quite annoyed by that. 50€ is the most common denomination over here
With inflation $50s should and will be a lot more common. Dinner for 2 is about $50, groceries are usually more than $50. It’s just a matter of time
Great explanation! Love your channel
Thank you! Would love it if you shared the video around too.
What's more rare $1 coins or the $2 bill?
I find the dollar bill kinda weird because up here in Canada we have both 1 and 2 dollar coins.
Neither is "rare" but I believe there are more $1 coins. Neither of them are used very much though
The carwash near me gives $1 coins as change.
@@jordanherkowski5052 A car wash is $7 where I went and I had to use quarters $0.25 cuz it did not take $1 coins or $0.50 coins that's 28 quarters for you folks keeping track at home.
2 dallar coins eh bud?
Which 1 dollar coin the golden 1 dollar coin or the susan b anthony dollar
Great question BTW ;
Many thanks for all your videos 👍👍👍👍
Thank YOU for subscribing and watching! Yes, it was a very good question. I get lots of submissions, but many of them won't work for a video (and a lot have embarrassing grammatical errors!). This is one of the few that stood out.
i have a 50 with 4 pairs in serial number is this worth anything just wondering if i should save it thanks
I missed my notification. But just finished watching your video now. Could you do a video on who decided on the imagery on the back of those older notes? The guy or small team of people. Thanks $2
This older video on my channel explains how those decisions were made. czcams.com/video/w4XQTMToMKc/video.html Thanks for being a subscriber and watching this one!
Waoo nice video
You haven’t even seen it yet bruh
Wow that is the best
What other denominations of currency around the world have the same oddball reputation as the 2 USD? I know of a few, but it'd be cool to hear of more you may find!
$1, 2 and 25 CAD (at various points in time)
¥2,000 (current)
$2000 CLP (not quite as rare as the 2 USD
€200 (worth a bit too much to be common)
S./200 (peruvian sol or nuevo sol, like the €200)
$2 ARS (at least back when 20 pesos was a buck)
£1 in the UK (only still printed in Scotland, isle of man, and the channel islands)
How many 50$ have been printed with the new design? Also have there been any prints of the 50 printed with a ⭐?(replacement)
Thank you for the information on the $50, although we do not know each other I am one of the few people that dose carry a $50 bill with me at all times for good luck and good memories . I was about eight years old when my dad give me a fresh crisp $50 bill. Lol
I wanted a Timex watch, but when it came time to spend the money, I was more enamored with the $50 bill, then the watch. Smiling . My dad was proud of me not being so quick to spend the money he purchased the watch for me anyway.
Sounds like a very nice dad
I love your videos
Thanks! Working on a few new ones.
Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you! Lots of other great videos on this channel... would love to have you as a subscriber.
Yes i have 7 of the two dollar bills, but they actually arent that rare, u might not find one in circulation but u can get it at the bank
I've got a $50 star bill. Even though it's not worth more than it's face value, I'm still keeping it.
It might be worth a little more than a regular one, but keeping it isn't a bad idea. Where do keep it?
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary, currently I'm keeping it in my currency collection. There were 3.2M replacement notes for this series. I've checked it myself.
I am from ireland i love your country i bought a gold 2 dollar bill one side has the navy ship and on the other sie a officer standing to attension in gold and the ship in gold i just want to show the american people we do love there troops and nazy
My favorite dollar bills are the 50s right now I have 3 bills of them.
what does the letter under the yr mean on a 2 dollar mean?
Im from the uk and £50 notes are our highest denomination, they are hardly used. I could imagine the $100 being even more rare.
The $100 is not as rare a you would think. Larger cash purchases are made with 100s. Most private sales are done with cash. Also according to Federal Reserve data from 2017 showed that the number of $100 bills exceeded the number of $1 bills, and a lot of those like 70-80% a in circulation overseas.
I have sequnnsital 50s brand new from the Mac machine very nice serial numbers
I have a $50 bill and I keep it for good luck
In the last few years I have seen and used only a couple$2 bills. As for the $50, I have used about 10 to 15 of them.
That's not a huge disparity.
My older brother works in fast food and has seen more 50s in the last few years. He said it might have to something to do with inflation starting to catch up with the 20
I get. 10 20s 50s here and there. It's been 12 years since I seen a 2 dollar bill. I get ones every day
I can't find my question i asked yesterday, why is it my 2017 have series A on them and my older 50.'s do not?
Series years are the topic of my next video, which should premiere either on April 1 or 2
What is the value for 2 dollar bill with AABlock and is the red seal 2 dollar bill are rare thanks for sharing your knowledge on numismatic interesting history regards from Richard Liew from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Y’all should make a video on the 50 cent price
Or discontinued $500 $1,000 $5,000 and $10,000 notes
I've done both. Here's the video on the 50 cent piece: czcams.com/video/jNwVi75Nkew/video.html And here's a video on $500 & $1,000 bills: czcams.com/video/p_W1dEOjJ6M/video.html
I just changed one from my local currency for savings. They mostly give you 20, 10 or 100. The 2's are rare.
Currently, the $10 is rarer than the $50.
It’s interesting to see you completing videos on any banknotes. While the Bank of Canada stopped printing the $1,000 note in 2000, there are still about 700,000 of those bills still in circulation across the country. Has the USA increased security on their $1,000 bank notes. And what are the printing and circulation numbers compared to the US $2 Banknote
The USA has not printed $1,000 notes for a while. I did a video a while back on that and the $500. If you missed it, here it is: czcams.com/video/p_W1dEOjJ6M/video.html
What are the rarest known errors for $2 bills? I'd love to see the different errors on $2 bills.
For that answer, I would highly recommend you watch the full documentary - there's a great section on error notes, and the owner shows them all off. If memory serves, it's somewhere around an hour in. czcams.com/video/4b3TczZpC_Y/video.html
I just subscribed
PS I want to know how rare 1000 notes are
Thank you for subscribing!
I can't tell you exactly how rare they are, but here's a video we did that included them. czcams.com/video/p_W1dEOjJ6M/video.html
just watch your video very educational specially on the $50 I happened to have got a 50 dollars the other day from by bank when I withdrawal some cash. I did not gave much thought I put it my desk drawer with some 2 dollar bills n a couple of days ago I took it out and took a good look at and notice it has a star by the serial number so now I am wondering if is worth more than 50 ?juanson
Can you please explain what makes the bill rare what is it that I got to look for ? Thank you❤
Neither the $2 nor the $50 are rare. They just seem to be because there are less of them than any other denomination, and especially with the $2, the PERCEPTION that they're rare means people hoard them. Because they do, there aren't many out there, and because people rarely see them, they think they're rare (because they never see them). As far as what to look for, fancy serial numbers increase a bill's value. Watch this video. czcams.com/video/j6st5xYSzqU/video.html
I have every single note except for the 100 on my table, but I have to say the 50 is my favorite of all of the dollar bills.
That's fair. I think they're pretty cool too. But the $2 is my thing.
Man I haven't seen a $2.00 bill in decades
Time to ask for some at your local bank. As you just learned, they're not rare at all.
I keep $2.50 and my $20 bills.
i never knew $50s where rare cus i have lot of them
They're NOT! People think that $2 bills are rare (they're not either). The point of the video is to show you that there aren't many more fifties than twos, so if you think one is rare, you should think the same about the other.
I love your videos it tells history 🕵🏼♂️🕵🏼♂️🕵🏼♂️

Im 13 my grandfathers given me 20 2 dollar bills probably had 4 50 dollar bills in my life and I’ve had a job.
I really like the $50 dollar bill it's my favorite bill
There were a couple proposals to put Ronald Reagan on the 50 dollar bill, but they didn't go anywhere.
Didn't see that in my research, but very interesting to know. Thank you! Probably not a detail I would have used considering this video discusses older bills, but it's always nice to learn something new. I will look that up to learn more.
can you do the twenty
vs the 2
Lots of people have asked for that. It's in the works.
My banks new atm is defaulting to 50s unless you pick what you want
100 withdrawal 2 50s
Earlier this week I put 105 and wanted 5 20s and 5 ones
It spit out 2 50s anyway
If I ever and I mean EVER see a 50 again I’ll never give it up, I will let it down on my desk and run around in a desert of excitement crying whilst saying “goodbye” to all these lies about 2 dollar bills being rare, I’ll hurt them
Sounds good.
Which is the rarest currency in circulation?... and why is it so rare?
The 50 dollar bill is more common than the 2. I had 3 of them and my father draws out more than 10 per month
It is more common, but there aren't many more $50s than $2s, as this video describes. Just because people use them more doesn't make them more or less scarce.
It’s actually pretty rare for me to find one without going to a bank I only have one in my wallet and you don’t see 50 dollar bill that often
What are good sources of coin knowledge on utube?
Any response will be appreciated 👍🙏🏽👍
There are several. Silverpicker is a good one. Once you watch a few of his, a bunch of other related channels will show up in your feed.

What is your favorite 2 dollar bill design?
There's something to be said for this current one! It's the first one I saw, and it's the one I lived with. That said, I have seen some really nice older versions. But since they're hard to come by and you would never spend them if you had them, my favorite still remains the current $2 bill. Boring answer, but it's the truth!
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary definitely a good choice all two dollar designs have their own charm!
the 50 is my favorite
yes

than a $500 bill
can I get $2 billls online for face value? Where? thank you
Online? It's unlikely. People on eBay mark them up, and there's no where that "sells" them unless you're buying collectibles.

So do I!
The Two Dollar Bill Documentary thank you for replying to my comment but why do you like two dollar bills I have 6 at home
There's lots of reasons. They look cool, they have a great history, they get great reactions when you use them, etc. Basically, you can watch most videos on this channel (including the full movie) and understand what's great about them and why I like them.

No
Why is the two dollar bill rear
Salve dove poso valutare dele bancnote americane grazie mille
My twin got 2 50 dollar bill
No, 50s are everywhere
Why you don't get 50 dollar change with a 100 dollar bill in super markets
Good point. They don't keep many $50s around - just like they don't keep $2s.
I had a dude come in and buy less than $50 in items then handed me a $100. I give him a $50 as part of his change. He then asked for $20's in a wtf are you stupid tone of voice rather than asking politely. Other times I have done this people seem disappointed but don't ask. conclusion people don't like getting $50's as change.
That's odd. I would love to get a $50 in change. The only reason anyone would be against it is the fact that it's harder to spend. Some places don't accept bills higher than $20s, so you could get stuck with that $50. But I love having them.
