1953-A $2 Bill

Have a red seal $2.00 bill and want to find out its value?

Red seal notes are also known as United States Notes or Legal Tender Notes. An act of congress authorized that $346,681,016 be maintained for these specific notes. By August 10, 1966 the last $2 red seal bill were printed eventually leading to the end of all red seals.


I got this with a few others in my change many years ago. They had little value back then and still are not rare enough to have any significant value in circulated condition.

The back has Monticello just like a normal nickel. They only changed it to the signing of the Declaration of Independence for the 1976 $2 series to commemorate the bicentennial.

Type: $2 U.S. Note
Year: 1953-A
Date Printed: July 1957 - September 1960
Printings: 18,000,000
Run: 131st from 127-176 of the A46800001A - A47160000A
Value: $10.00 in Very-Fine

Do you have a two dollar bill and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

About $500.00 but that is because fair is a low grade for collectors.

Have it graded to raise value. Possibly closer to $1,000 if graded higher than extra-fine.

It looks Fine maybe Very-Fine so slightly under $500.00. All 8's on money is considered especially lucky.
