  • Ever seen a blue seal on a piece of currency? Many older dollar bills have them, which means you might only see them at a trade show. But what are they? In this video from the producer of the Two Dollar Bill Documentary, go beyond the numismatics to learn about silver certificates and the blue seals that often represent them. Was the Federal Reserve involved? How about the treasury? Are they wise to add to your banknote collection? How did silver mining come into play? Just watch. The video hits $2 bills and many other denominations

    As a avid collector, I have every blue seal note in the modern era (1928-1957) except the 1933 $10. In my collection I also have a $2 1899 and a $2 1918 "battleship" note. The currency from the old days were art.

ANY form of currency reported stolen, WITH the proper serial numbers, tracking numbers, and detailed information on shape, condition, and amount of $2.00 bills will be reported by the victims, and if that money SPENT that IS stolen, then it will be tracked and the thieves caught!

    I keep asking various banks for two dollar bills and the tellers are joyous to sell them to me. I got up to $40.00 worth and I keep them in alphabetical order... One guy gave me a $20.00 bill for “10” $2.00 bills. Some bank tellers are grateful that I buy them. Wish vending machines in smaller towns and work places have $2.00 vending machines. Thanks John! Would be nice to have a lottery to win nothing but $2.00 bills. I wish we were financially blessed and connected to have financial favor.. To donate or give away money, but money is tight.. I hope my overtime check would let me get $2.00’s and Spend freely.

    Think they missed an opportunity on not making a small sized $2 silver certificate in addition to the $2 Legal Tender, but I just kinda like the blue serial numbers as much as the red ones. With the billions of $1 silver certificates printed after 1928, they might have saved even more money by issuing at least a third of those silver certificates as $2s.

They also say that we would get in trouble if we tried again to turn in LEGAL US CURRENCY (2 dollar bills). I don’t understand this. Why do so many groups not take 2’s?

      They just don't understand that $2s are normal currency! They are fixated on the misconceptions that have always been present, and they refuse to budge off of them. I would use them and have ready a Wikipedia print out of even videos from this channel ready to prove tht not only are they legal tender, there are almost as many $2s as $50s in circulation. No one is complaining about $50 bills, that's for sure.

      The green seals are worth face value only unless you get one with a unique serial number, as we describe in this video: ua-cam.com/video/YrjYDq85s2k/v-deo.html The red seals are worth more than face value, but a lot depends on what year it is (1928, 1953 or 1963), its condition, serial number, etc. You should reach out to a local coin & currency dealer for a value.

    The mistake was in defining the "dollar." The boobs should have stuck with ounces and fractions of ounces of gold and silver and. By defining a "dollar" as 371.25 grains of pure silver, the door to debauchery was opened and the "dollar" coins or fractions were debauched. The Romans screwed themselves by debasing their coins. Ralph T. Foster's book: Fiat Paper Money spells it out.
