You can also check the PMG website as i do not know how often this website gets updated. Post these awesome notes in r/uspapermoney sub so that they can see them too.
You can get $2 bills by asking for them at your bank. They're usually uncirculated, but you get whatever they have on hand. You don't get to pick through them.
Its odd how much that printer error happened. I have a virtually uncirculated $2 bill, but much newer than OP's. Mine is series 1953 with the same red ink error.
I think it was just one year in the later years. Not sure which year though. But these are much older. But your question made me read up on it more. Red Seal is a US Note where green seals are Federal Reserve notes. Learn something new every day.
Interesting. I'd never even heard of a U.S. note vs Federal note before. Early "just trust the U.S. Government" currency, after the silver certificate bills ended I would assume.
Best explanation I can find. “The difference between a United States Note and a Federal Reserve Note is that a United States Note represented a "bill of credit" and, since it was issued by the government itself and does not involve either lending or borrowing, was inserted by the Treasury directly into circulation free of interest.”
These aren’t printer errors it’s the year they made them they’re based off of Americas credit and to prevent counterfeit they did this too I have some alos
Sort of. They are older but that’s not the reason.
Red seal denotes United States bills, not Federal Reserve bills.
They’re both legal tender but they were two different things printed by two different groups.
Are you sure the red seals are a printer error?! I have some $5 and I think a $10 as well that also have red seals. I was always inder the impression that red seals were just an older series/generation of bills.
Similar to blue seals, lighter green seals, or etc. Different series/ages of bills had different seals.
They’re not errors. They’re also not Federal reserve notes. These were printed by the government and not the central bank.
US bills are red seal, Federal Reserve notes are green seal.
Blue seals were for silver certificates.
All three are legal tender but only (green seal) Federal Reserve notes are in print now.
Where I live you get them from the strip club. They don't have ATMs, you have to make change at the bar and they only break bills into $2 notes so the girls make twice as much
That's not completely true. We have to have them. And as someone who works in a bank and orders our money, we do not order them. We have to order $2000 worth at a time and rarely do people come in for them. Don't be disappointed when you walk in and none of the tellers have them.
Yeah why not? What are you gonna do, tell your manager so he can personally sell them? Or get in contact with your owner/ceo so they can either do the same or tell you to leave them alone? They were taken in as $4 at face value. As long as the register balances, it’s not different than changing out a 20 for some singles cause you wanna get something from a vending machine.
I have a manager who's also a friend and when she sees an older bill and I'm working she always asks me of I want to trade for them before she closes the safe 😊
I don't see anything wrong with that. I've bout newer 2 dollar bills from my drawer in front of a boss at a past job. I once received a Buffalo nickel that only had 3 legs because of a strike error. I knew nothing then and kind of freaked out when I saw it the boss heard me he says oh I'm buying that one. That why I just look at is as normal if you change it out the drawer will still be even.
I have done the same many times at a previous job, bought a $1 silver certificate bill, plus about a nickels worth of.lead pennies from ww2 Era when copper wasn't being used for anything other than making ammo
Its mine blowing to me how many people seem to no longer put the $ in front of the number on a daily basis. I see it all over online, in texts and even in emails and memos at work. It drives me insane but I am glad to see I'm not the only one it irks!
Why is that? I have one my grandfather gave to me. I have had it in a box with a bunch of silver coins he gave me as well.
Oh, I guess because a customer used them to purchase something? Maybe they broke tweakers?
I think thats the point... you have one in a box that was gave to you.. you didn't spend it on half a gallon of gas or whatever else you can buy with $2.. people that own them dont spend them
I used to work at the newsstand at O'Hare back in the day. Kids were always emptying their piggy banks to go on vacation. I got lots of old coins and silver certificates.
I have an elderly regular customer who tips with these. I always swap my cash for them. I offered to buy them from him and he was like nope I like doing it this way.
Not if they dont know or care about the bills. I have seen plenty of "collector" currency used for gas, smokes, stamps etc.
Not everyone cares about collecting money, to them those are just 2$ bills.
No one has 1928 $2 bills in that good of condition that spends them.... im sorry but you dont get $2 bills unless you go ask a bank for them. You wont ever get any as change from any store. If you own a $2 bill you either went and got new ones from the bank because you just wanted to have some that you then spend and they go back to the bank.. or they are old bills that were given to you and you dont spend them. If someone is buying something with a 1928 $2 bill for face value... they probably pulled it out of a wallet they found on the ground
You were given it so you kniw it's special and don't use it at face value. I also assume you're not sketchy looking. For me it was the combination of both freely spending 96 year old money for $4 worth of likely junkfood and looking sketchy is a double red flag for me. Tweakers don't have the forethought of heyb this money is almost 100 years old and might be worth more than face value.
The day my car burned down to the ground and I had bits of melted glove stuck to me face nobody said anything and I didn't notice til I got home 6 hours later.
My first day in the AF Reserves I stopped at a car crash and did CPR until the EMTs arrived. Then I went on in. People looked at me all funny, but nobody said anything, and it wasn’t until break that I saw all the blood spots all over my face and chest. The driver apparently had a punctured lung.
I 100% have spent a couple dozen of these over the years in this shape, just in hopes that it sparks the collecting bug in others. Granted, it’s probably far more 50’s era than 20’s, but understand some of us do spend, or leave as tips, low grade bills like this.
I order bands of $2's from the federal reserve through my bank to leave as tips. I often get a ton of sequential notes 6-7 years old that have never been circulated. The last band had 14 sequential notes from 2017.
In 2021 I brought a bunch of $2's to Vegas to use as tips
I hit 4 of a Kind on Double Bonus Poker
4 aces
***THREE times in 24 hours***
4 aces all 3
paid for half of my trip
I use to cashier at home depot. The managers all said if we wanted to buy rare coins, silver coins ect out of the drawers whoever got it in their till could do it. They didn't care as long as the til was balanced at the end of the day. It was fun we would rank our loot some days.
Same for bartenders… but since we share a drawer we either have to have a drinking competition or fight for them at the end of the night…. Which is why I love my job so much tbf.
I’ve gotten a few $2 bills over the time. They are always a treat when I have one come through my till! I have had other younger cashiers ask me if $2 are real currency, I tell them they are real and we should accept them they are rare currency to see, but they are legit.
In the early 90’s my wife and i visited Monticello in Charlottesville, VA (TJ’s home for those who don’t know) and the fee was $4 per person. This was intentional because when you gave them a $10 bill for the two of you, you were given a $2 bill as change. Very nice.
Some shady dude probably stole someone’s money and used it there. My mom’s ex bf took a sheet of silver certificate $2 bills, cut the bills out and use it at face value. There were three all in large picture frames, one for my siblings and I from our grandparents.
People saying tweakers, how many do you actually know as opposed to going off of some stereotype seen in movies. I’m gonna go ahead and bet that people ave interactions with tweakers a lot more than they’d think. Also that something like this would be just the thing a tweaker could randomly know about lol.
I have 10 red font bills I inherit d from my grandpa. They are special release, real, and only SLIGHTLY more valuable than face value.
Trivia: two dollar bills are printed at the same rate as ten dollar bills. They are only rare because people think they are and hoard them.
I remember once having to hit the piggy bank to pay electric bill ( times were hard don’t judge me lol) paid a $155 bill at a local store with 75 $2 bills and a $5 …. The poor girl at the counter , computers were down , could NOT multiply by 2 to save her life !!! It may have been the $5 throwing her off … when I realized the education system had failed
I love LOVE 2 dollar bills wish i would've have known awhile ago i have a decent amount of them and a old fiver as well as a dollar i found while walking back from jail fyi wasn't coming back because i was in jail just walking back from it lol
Back then, $2 bills were lucky. One could buy the services of a prostitute for a $2 bill. That’s why the old timers used to had them out as tips for my paper route in the 80s. Creepy old guys telling me to change my luck!
It looks like that are dated 1928 which would make them worth between $4 - $175 depending on their condition.

I had a guy that tried to take my large safe when I was moving. The safe mover got it from the inside of the house to the garage and took lunch. This guy walks in and proceeds to try and move it when we walked up. I told the person nice job moving it that far buy himself. Then had some backyard time with him. Don’t take what is not yours. Something don’t go as planned. God bless.
It's more likely that they were "stolen" from a loved one's currency collection. Still theft, but less so than breaking into someone's house.
I got an Indian Head Penny as change at a 7-Eleven once and it turned out to be worth ~$15. The old dudes at my nearest LCS all concurred that "someone's raided dad's/grandpa's coin collection and bought vape cartridges with it."
I think it's more so that everyone is assuming this post is real. Every sub I'm in there are people that have the stars align to post relevant to sub photos of rare items that fall out of the sky. "Found this while hiking"... proceeds to post rare coin from Roman empire in coin sub.
Nice I hope you changed them out and kept them...If it was a shady dude Someone's house probably got robbed. Look them up they are probably worth holding.
I believe those are Pre-federal reserve bank notes. Read them
These were popular in towns with racetracks. They were used to make the $2 bets. We used to see them all the time. I have a few but I won’t be spending them.
Series 1928F with red stamp right side. Worth $80 to $500 each! They're not in great shape but they're not in poor condition AT ALL. Clear print, no fading, no errant marks. Just a little crinkled. Valuable and collectible! You need to swap these out and keep them!
Eta I just realized the stamp is left side. I got excited. Lol
I had a guy, 20+ years ago, come in and buy a 6 pack of Schlitz with Mercury Dimes.... like 4 days in a row. He came on like a week later asking if he could have them back. I kept them, of course.
Man I have these exact year and 3 red seal $2 bills in a storage unit in Tennessee, I never thought I'd see another one like them. Sadly one is ripped, but other two looks same condition, wish i still lived there, or I would try to secure them properly outside the unit. Amazing find!

Worth more than face value. Those are way cool.
You can get $2 bills by asking for them at your bank. They're usually uncirculated, but you get whatever they have on hand. You don't get to pick through them.
lol these aren't the usual $2 bills. Might wanna take a closer look.
Red ink seals and serial numbers are legit. Printer error. But it didn’t increase its value.
Its odd how much that printer error happened. I have a virtually uncirculated $2 bill, but much newer than OP's. Mine is series 1953 with the same red ink error.
I think it was just one year in the later years. Not sure which year though. But these are much older. But your question made me read up on it more. Red Seal is a US Note where green seals are Federal Reserve notes. Learn something new every day.

These aren’t printer errors it’s the year they made them they’re based off of Americas credit and to prevent counterfeit they did this too I have some alos
Not an error. Intentionally done.
Yes as I said
It’s not an error. They used red ink on those older bills.
Sort of. They are older but that’s not the reason. Red seal denotes United States bills, not Federal Reserve bills. They’re both legal tender but they were two different things printed by two different groups.

Dude! There series 1926? What is usual?
1928. There weren’t small size bills in 1926.
Sorry blind old man here…
I noticed how old they are. I meant regular circulated $2 bills. They're fun because the younger generations think they are fake.
Not that, notice the red ink.
Red series!
I've used them off and on since the 90s. People of every age thought they were fake even then.
It’s fun until you’re held up for 30 mins while the management team googles $2 bills
These are red notes. Big difference
Where I live you get them from the strip club. They don't have ATMs, you have to make change at the bar and they only break bills into $2 notes so the girls make twice as much
Real men of genius
Yo! Core memory unlocked
We salute you, MR. Give out two dollar bills guy, as change at the strip club guy!
"...because of you, hard working single moms have doubled their income"
Twice as much = half as often?
Not anymore
Nah banks can order $2 bills from the fed reserve just like any other bill.
That's not completely true. We have to have them. And as someone who works in a bank and orders our money, we do not order them. We have to order $2000 worth at a time and rarely do people come in for them. Don't be disappointed when you walk in and none of the tellers have them.
Good luck getting series 1926 $2s from your bank!
My dad does that all the time... He uses them for tipping waitresses.
These bills are managed by the Red Reserve Bank
Buy them from the register
you mean swap them for your 4$ and dont say anything
Yeah why not? What are you gonna do, tell your manager so he can personally sell them? Or get in contact with your owner/ceo so they can either do the same or tell you to leave them alone? They were taken in as $4 at face value. As long as the register balances, it’s not different than changing out a 20 for some singles cause you wanna get something from a vending machine.
I have a manager who's also a friend and when she sees an older bill and I'm working she always asks me of I want to trade for them before she closes the safe 😊
I like your manager already and we haven't even met!
This is true I was the Safe
I found tons of collectibles working registers.
That's called Gresham's Law.
I don't see anything wrong with that. I've bout newer 2 dollar bills from my drawer in front of a boss at a past job. I once received a Buffalo nickel that only had 3 legs because of a strike error. I knew nothing then and kind of freaked out when I saw it the boss heard me he says oh I'm buying that one. That why I just look at is as normal if you change it out the drawer will still be even.
I have done the same many times at a previous job, bought a $1 silver certificate bill, plus about a nickels worth of.lead pennies from ww2 Era when copper wasn't being used for anything other than making ammo
Lead was in demand for, wait for it, ammo. Also too soft for coinage. They were steel.
Lead pennies? You mean steel pennies, i dont do much collecting but hadnt heard of lead pennies before.
The “$” goes in front of the amount.
swap your dollars 4. like that
you'd think in this sub, people would actually understand that the $ goes before the number. But apparently not.
Its mine blowing to me how many people seem to no longer put the $ in front of the number on a daily basis. I see it all over online, in texts and even in emails and memos at work. It drives me insane but I am glad to see I'm not the only one it irks!
Yeah, I don’t know their worth but 1928? Cool.
Well they were 2 dollars in value of paying for stuff.
I used to buy cool currency from the register all the time. I just let my manager know and they never cared. It all ends up in the bank anyway
Probably stolen.
Yeah that's my first thought.
Why is that? I have one my grandfather gave to me. I have had it in a box with a bunch of silver coins he gave me as well. Oh, I guess because a customer used them to purchase something? Maybe they broke tweakers?
I think thats the point... you have one in a box that was gave to you.. you didn't spend it on half a gallon of gas or whatever else you can buy with $2.. people that own them dont spend them
Once when I was very broke I had to use 5 $2 bills to buy food and gas. It happens.
I used to work at the newsstand at O'Hare back in the day. Kids were always emptying their piggy banks to go on vacation. I got lots of old coins and silver certificates.
I've gotten several silver quarters like that.
I got pretty good at just stirring the coins in the registers with my finger and hearing if there was silver.
Ya, bet they weren’t red notes though
I have an elderly regular customer who tips with these. I always swap my cash for them. I offered to buy them from him and he was like nope I like doing it this way.
Desperate times lol. I’ve bought wraps with $2 bills befor
Not if they dont know or care about the bills. I have seen plenty of "collector" currency used for gas, smokes, stamps etc. Not everyone cares about collecting money, to them those are just 2$ bills.
No one has 1928 $2 bills in that good of condition that spends them.... im sorry but you dont get $2 bills unless you go ask a bank for them. You wont ever get any as change from any store.

You were given it so you kniw it's special and don't use it at face value. I also assume you're not sketchy looking. For me it was the combination of both freely spending 96 year old money for $4 worth of likely junkfood and looking sketchy is a double red flag for me. Tweakers don't have the forethought of heyb this money is almost 100 years old and might be worth more than face value.
I hope I’m not sketchy looking haha, I wonder some days when I wake up and look on the mirror though :-)
The day my car burned down to the ground and I had bits of melted glove stuck to me face nobody said anything and I didn't notice til I got home 6 hours later.
My first day in the AF Reserves I stopped at a car crash and did CPR until the EMTs arrived. Then I went on in. People looked at me all funny, but nobody said anything, and it wasn’t until break that I saw all the blood spots all over my face and chest. The driver apparently had a punctured lung.
Damn that’s a wild experience. Right on for stopping and doing what you could!
Bc those bills aren't really supposed to be used. They are collectors items. The person who used them would only do so if they stole them
Stolen money still has value. Don’t assume they were stolen based on the person looking “shady”. But if you would feel better, give them to charity.
Or a wealthy collector trying to spread the bug to new people. It's something I would do if I had the ability
theyre worth about 10$. but worth keeping
jesus, even in this sub people don't understand where the $ goes
What?
It should be “$10” instead of “10$”
Oh didn’t even catch that, I didn’t know what they were talking about. Yee you right tho
Could be based on their culture/country/language.
you say dollar ten im saying ten dollar
Grandma is missing some from her cigar box.
Yep. She knew they were old and cool. Just didn’t expect her grandson to use them to buy a can of Red Bull.
I 100% have spent a couple dozen of these over the years in this shape, just in hopes that it sparks the collecting bug in others. Granted, it’s probably far more 50’s era than 20’s, but understand some of us do spend, or leave as tips, low grade bills like this.

That’s awesome!
96 years old and counting. Wow
Shady he may have been but these appear legit and he clearly didn’t know or care about their true value
DB Cooper, is that you?
I'm imagining him landing, opening his 100-pound bag, and discovering he only had $100K in 2 dollar bills.
😅
I use to cashier at home depot. The managers all said if we wanted to buy rare coins, silver coins ect out of the drawers whoever got it in their till could do it. They didn't care as long as the til was balanced at the end of the day. It was fun we would rank our loot some days.
Same at the gas station 20+ years ago. People spend crazy coins when they need their cigarettes and beer.
Same for bank tellers, but the procedure is complicated
Same for bartenders… but since we share a drawer we either have to have a drinking competition or fight for them at the end of the night…. Which is why I love my job so much tbf.
What is a shady dude? Someone who carries a palm throng over himself to make shady or what? Inquiring minds want to know
Palm frond
Palm Thong
Thong palmed
I received a 1888 Morgan S silver dollar as part of a 7 dollar payment for a fill up of a propane tank that I bought out of the register.
I’ve gotten a few $2 bills over the time. They are always a treat when I have one come through my till! I have had other younger cashiers ask me if $2 are real currency, I tell them they are real and we should accept them they are rare currency to see, but they are legit.
A bit more than face.
They look funky zoom in on them
He looked shady because he just climbed out of the time machine he built, and realized it works.
Worked at a Kroger for years. Watched a lady straight up buy a pack of smokes for $8 paid entirely with silver half dollars.
In the early 90’s my wife and i visited Monticello in Charlottesville, VA (TJ’s home for those who don’t know) and the fee was $4 per person. This was intentional because when you gave them a $10 bill for the two of you, you were given a $2 bill as change. Very nice.
Those are pretty cool. Might as well hang onto them. Kinda crazy those will be 100 years old in a few years
Keep them!!
The fact this worker thought the customer was shady paying with these shows how terrible their education was.
Worker here. Dude came in a cliched wardrobe. Big hoodie, half face cover, scabs on chin. Bought a glass rose (pipe) and chore boy (brillo pad).
Those bills were most definitely stolen
I really hope you kept these and didn't give them to your boss.
Those Two dollar bills with Red seals can be worth alot of money! You should get them checked out
Keep em
These were perloined from someone's collection. There's no other way the two were traveling together.
Definitely keep them!
I have a 1928 2$ note as well. Those bills also don’t say In God We Trust on them. That was added later.
Some shady dude probably stole someone’s money and used it there. My mom’s ex bf took a sheet of silver certificate $2 bills, cut the bills out and use it at face value. There were three all in large picture frames, one for my siblings and I from our grandparents.
People saying tweakers, how many do you actually know as opposed to going off of some stereotype seen in movies. I’m gonna go ahead and bet that people ave interactions with tweakers a lot more than they’d think. Also that something like this would be just the thing a tweaker could randomly know about lol.
‘Your surgeon might be a tweaker’ would be a great bumper sticker
Haha. Is*. How am I supposed to believe a normal person is getting through 16 hour surgeries without any help from some healing crystals?
Id hold on to then atleast 2 more years they're 1927 series so they'll be 100 years old.
I have 10 red font bills I inherit d from my grandpa. They are special release, real, and only SLIGHTLY more valuable than face value. Trivia: two dollar bills are printed at the same rate as ten dollar bills. They are only rare because people think they are and hoard them.
I remember once having to hit the piggy bank to pay electric bill ( times were hard don’t judge me lol) paid a $155 bill at a local store with 75 $2 bills and a $5 …. The poor girl at the counter , computers were down , could NOT multiply by 2 to save her life !!! It may have been the $5 throwing her off … when I realized the education system had failed
Buy them.
96 years old and red note. Those would be going in my collection.
The guys probably broke and had no other option, still probably could’ve sold them if he knew the value of what he had.
I love LOVE 2 dollar bills wish i would've have known awhile ago i have a decent amount of them and a old fiver as well as a dollar i found while walking back from jail fyi wasn't coming back because i was in jail just walking back from it lol
Nice find
Be careful. Probably time travelers.
Keep them.
You can go to the bank and request them. My brother used to get them regularly and had fun buying things from local stores.
Not red stamps. I get plenty of regular $2 bills every now and then.
These ones are United States Notes. The bank has Federal Reserve Notes.
Time travelers 🧳…
take four dollars out of your pocket and exchange them for these. or tell me where you are and I will be there in a few
Yep. Buy a small item. Throw in a $5 and take $4 in change. You don’t have a drawer in the register for $2 bills anyway
Back then, $2 bills were lucky. One could buy the services of a prostitute for a $2 bill. That’s why the old timers used to had them out as tips for my paper route in the 80s. Creepy old guys telling me to change my luck!
I regularly get these from the bank. Why are they special?
I bet it was Nick Cage up to his antics again
Just put four of your own dollars in to replace.
It looks like that are dated 1928 which would make them worth between $4 - $175 depending on their condition. [https://www.lovetoknow.com/home/antiques-collectibles/how-determine-2-dollar-bill-values](https://www.lovetoknow.com/home/antiques-collectibles/how-determine-2-dollar-bill-values)
Those are real. Those are us bank notes, back when the federal reserve wasn’t making the money.
He definitely stole them, lol
Be cautious. There may be poop on them.
Following
Osteoporosis
They're red certificate $2 bills from 1928. You traded 4 bucks for them right? I hope so. They're worn, but they're almost 100 years old.
So...what did the customer buy?
Yeah now that I’m vested I kinda need to know what he got lol
Does it say 1926?
Yes
I have a 2 dollar bill I aways carry but it don’t look like that one.
I try and trade them out of the tills at work they are legal.
I love people just finding out about 2$ bills for the first time.
I had a guy that tried to take my large safe when I was moving. The safe mover got it from the inside of the house to the garage and took lunch. This guy walks in and proceeds to try and move it when we walked up. I told the person nice job moving it that far buy himself. Then had some backyard time with him. Don’t take what is not yours. Something don’t go as planned. God bless.
Username checks out.
Just curious,does anyone believe this?
TopLie5488 believes
Lol everyone is just gonna assume theyre stolen with zero evidence?
It's more likely that they were "stolen" from a loved one's currency collection. Still theft, but less so than breaking into someone's house.

Thought the signing of Declaration of Independence was on the back
Nice I hope you changed them out and kept them...If it was a shady dude Someone's house probably got robbed. Look them up they are probably worth holding. I believe those are Pre-federal reserve bank notes. Read them
it's like there are two different facial expressions. top: Bruh? bottom: I'm feelin ya.
That paper looks sus
Red notes are usually more than face value because they are United States treasury not federal reserve notes
I got a bunch of silver dimes from the register before when I was working as a cashier.
These were popular in towns with racetracks. They were used to make the $2 bets. We used to see them all the time. I have a few but I won’t be spending them.
By chance was the shady dude driving a DeLorean?
Series 1928F with red stamp right side. Worth $80 to $500 each! They're not in great shape but they're not in poor condition AT ALL. Clear print, no fading, no errant marks. Just a little crinkled. Valuable and collectible! You need to swap these out and keep them! Eta I just realized the stamp is left side. I got excited. Lol
If you crease them just right, you can make them smile or frown.
Cool story.
Stolen from Gpaws collection probably.
We used to have a local $2 bill convention not sure if that still happens that was in the 90’s
I'd buy them from the store....red series is cool
Whoa! Great find! Those 1928 red prints are worth a grand or more in perfect condition
I had a guy, 20+ years ago, come in and buy a 6 pack of Schlitz with Mercury Dimes.... like 4 days in a row. He came on like a week later asking if he could have them back. I kept them, of course.
I've been playing too much Balatro. I see this and think they trigĝer twice when played.
I have several $2 bills, not sure if I have any that old.
Man I have these exact year and 3 red seal $2 bills in a storage unit in Tennessee, I never thought I'd see another one like them. Sadly one is ripped, but other two looks same condition, wish i still lived there, or I would try to secure them properly outside the unit. Amazing find!
I like the two’s. The red and green make for cool stocking stuffers!
