Is a $20 bill from 1934 worth anything besides $20. Even if I keep it for another 50 years?

Question

What are some websites that list or show or give detail of rare bills and coins?

Answer 1

There are a lot of variables in collecting paper currency. Condition is the main one right next to rarity. A $1000 bill from 1898 recently sold for millions of dollars because there are only two known examples of that bill. I recently sold a $5 from 1951 for $35. It was in near mint condition and had a star at the beginning of the serial number.

Answer 2

hi!! check the link below, many examples of the 1934 20 dollar bill. many different things come into play when trying to determine a value. (please note that these are open auctions and could go for higher money, you need an e-bay account to see the closed auctions)hope this helps. good luck and have fun!!!

Answer 3

other factors not yet mentioned by the respondents include:

is it a silver certificate?
is there anything unusual about the bill (besides its age)?

try looking for a website for the federal reserve...you may be able to determine the age of the bill by using the serial number (i think)

Answer 4

It would be worth $20-25 unless it is an error or has an interesting serial number on it.

If it is a mis-print or some rare error it would be worth much more.

Answer 5

the answer to your first question basically depends on one thing: the quality (condition) of the bill. as for your second question, the answer is: use a search engine (like Yahoo) to find the websites.

Answer 6

I don't think paper money gains value. Most older coins at least were made of silver.

Answer 7

yes it can be worth money it could be around 200 dollars or so look it up
