Los two dollar bills (US$2) They have a high value in the numismatic market, because they are rarely in circulation, although they never stopped being printed. How much can collectors pay depending on the color of their stamps?
The two US dollar bill (US$2) is a current denomination of the US currency and, according to the US website Currency Auctions (USCA)some of these bills are worth from a few dollars more and up to thousands.
Its printing is half as expensive as that of $1 bills, because it costs the same to manufacture (6.2 cents per bill). However, it is rare to see them because people hoard them, thinking that they are no longer in print or that the 1976 series $2 bill, with its unusual reverse design, was a special, limited issue produced for the Bicentennial of the United States.
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF 2 DOLLAR BILLS WITH COLORED STAMPS?
The US website Currency Auctions (USCA) explains that two-dollar bills with red, brown and blue stamps have a special value, depending on their age and state of preservation.
US$2 bills printed between 1862 and 1917 are usually worth $1,000, because they were manufactured almost a century and a half ago.
USCA specifies that bills printed in 1890, which have a brown and red seal and are not in circulation, might be worth regarding $4,500 each. The important thing is that it would be an exclusive print from more than 100 years ago.
In general, therefore, those with a red seal would have an estimated value between 300 and 2,500 dollars, while those with a brown or blue seal can be valued at several hundred dollars.
Newer banknotes, printed since 2003, maintain their face value. However, one was auctioned for US$2,400 at Heritage Auction, one of the largest auction houses on the planet. Although it was not an old bill, its value was that it had a very low number for the 2003 batch.

According to US Currency Education Program., as of 2017, it was estimated that there were around 1.2 billion of these banknotes in circulation with a face value of US$2.4 billion.
The Federal Reserve Bank’s cash offices distribute notes to the public through depository institutions, such as commercial banks, credit unions, and savings and loan associations. However, their value in the numismatic market makes these banknotes highly coveted.
PLACES YOU SHOULD AVOID WHEN SELLING COINS AND BANKNOTES WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Perhaps motivated by representation on television programs, many of us might think of pawn shops as one of the first destinations to sell these types of items. However, according to La Nación, these establishments are considered the least favorable options for marketing our coins or banknotes.
Despite having experts in numismatics, this alternative is ruled out because they tend to offer significantly lower prices compared to the real value of the items you own.
