1963-A $2 Bill, A-A

The last red seal $2 U.S. notes issued were these series 1963-A. Yes I got this in my change at the end of the day. Most stores do not like to carryover halves, dollar coins, or two dollar bills in their registers. Asking for any funny money as change is a good idea if your the last customer.

About 50 years old this note has exceeded the limits of circulating notes, although I suspect this may have been used by a former collector. Trying to sell a note valued at $7.00 may not be worth it especially when collectors want perfect notes worth thousands. It is not uncommon for collectors to giveaway or use notes or coins that seem rare but are not. Recently I gave a new friend some halves just because they never owned any. To me it was worth to see the joy in their face and here stories of old money the once saw.

1928-G $2 Bill, E-A

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

The only other $2 red seal I got in my change. This one is older than most and has only one seal which is perfectly normal. The date is also on the left side instead of the normal right side. Aside from that it still had most of the same design seen on most United States notes.


Another thing to note is that the series year of 1928 is not when it was printed. Using the G after the date and the signatures we can guess it was printed between June 1949 - January 1953. Knowing the it is also an E-A serial number it is fairly safe to assume it was printed towards the end of the run likely in 1952.

This is the last of this type of note with the seal on the left. It is fairly common and fairly new so it will not bring in any large value in circulated grade.

Type: $2 U.S. Note
Year: 1928-G
Date Printed: June 1949 - January 1953
Printings: 30,760,000
Run: Unknown
Value: $12.00 in Very-Fine

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
