I have an old two-dollar bill from 1963. What makes this interesting is the seal and serial number are printed in red ink instead of green. Can someone explain to me what this means, and is it worth anything? It's in pretty decent shape. Thanks!

It's still worth $2. All the "paper" money used to have the seal and serial numbers printed in red ink. That made it very visible. I don't know exactly when they changed that. Probably with the new designs and the colored inks! The new stuff looks like Monopoly money to me.

1963 Two Dollar Bill Red Seal

The bill is worth a least $2 but depending on the person you might be able to get a lot more for it. I once seen a $1 bill sell on eBay for over $10 (not including shipping) because it had a odd serial number.
As mentioned go to wheresgeorge.com they have a forum there that has a ton of people that collect old bills or with unique serial numbers. Somebody there will be able to help with the question.

The reason the ink is different is the series 1963 note is a United States Note not a Federal Reserve Note. You have to remember that the series of a note is not the date the note was printed but when first authorized. They also change the series when one of the signatures change. The series 1963 should have the signatures of Granaham and Dillon, the series 1963A are Granaham and Fowler. I think the notes were printed up to the late 1960's. As for value it trends for $7 in fine and $9 in grade extra fine. A trends value is about what a dealer sells them for. He pays much less. It is worth holding onto for as time goes by the only place the value can go is up.

Depends on the serial #. If you'd post that I could tell you more.
