Good morning!
It sounds like it may be worth $2 (sorry!) and you might be able to get a collector to buy it for $4 max. The red numbers just mean it was printed before 1976.
In 1976, the Treasury Department reintroduced the $2 bill as a cost-saving measure. As part of the United States Bicentennial celebration, the note was redesigned and issued as a Federal Reserve Note. The obverse featured the same portrait of Jefferson, a green instead of red seal and serial numbers, and an engraved rendition of John Trumbull's The Declaration of Independence on the reverse. It is commonly thought that the picture on the back of the bill is the Signing of the Declaration of Independence but it is not. It could be of the Committee of Five (that wrote the Declaration of Independence) submitting it to the Second Continental Congress. It is also thought the painting is a combination of the submission of the document and the signing (neither event occurred on July 4, 1776.) First day issues of the new bicentennial $2 bills could be taken to a post office and stamped with the date "APR 13 1976". In all, 590,720,000 notes from Series 1976 were printed.

Series 1953 $2 bills sell for around $10 in grade extremely fine and and $30 in crisp uncirculated grade 63. A dealer will pay at least 40% less. They are worth holding onto, at this point in time. Hope this helps.

It all depends upon their condition.
Type "2 dollar bill + red ink" into your search engine.

ANY silver certificate is going to be worth something, but it depends on its condition. Take it to a coin and precious metals dealer. They usually know the details on such things.
