So I recently got my hands on a bunch of 2$ bills and was told they can worth more than 2$??

I’m pretty new to the coin/currency world & would appreciate anyone’s input.

What should I do with them? Should I have them graded like a coin?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with them?

I can only assume they’re only with face value but a friend told me they can be with more?

Thanks for input.

    Being consecutive doesn’t necessarily add any value. That’s basically how they’re distributed…in packs of consecutive serial numbers. I would hold off getting them graded unless you have some with fancy serial numbers. What is the series ?

    -There's a lot of misinformation out there. I would ask your friend where he got his info from & if he quotes some social media site - well, just take it with a grain of salt. As @Steve_in_Tampa mentioned, collectible notes should have a special serial number or be from a short run (certain Block # /older series) & be in perfect uncirculated condition (like the day they were made) so a picture would help if you think they're special. Tens of million are released to the public.

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I’ve actually got about 6 different bundles all different serial numbers from
    What I’ve been reading it seems like I’ve got a few of those fancy numbers. Is there a place I can find out how fancy it really is and if it’s worth anything over face value?

    @CoinRaz24 You're looking for ladders, radars, repeaters, bookends, binaries, low numbers ( 6-7 Zeros), etc. Good luck. Peace Roy

    If you have the next $2 strap which starts with 02900200. You will find a repeater note in that strap.

    there are graded currency, but for modern stuff, just for the start, you can spend anything that's not in absolute pristine condition. even a little frayed corner and forget it. Circulated? spend it. i'll then say -- very loosely -- >>quality of the printing<< is of prime importance. modern $2 are not rare, no one requests them from the bank. so collectors can raid banks at will for crisp ones to grade.
