Another letter about 1934 notes comes from Paige M: I found a five dollar bill from 1934 which is quite different from today’s five dollar bill. Is it worth anything?
1934 $5 notes come both in Silver Certificates with blue seal and Federal Reserve Notes with green seals. The blue seal notes are no longer made and would certainly be recognizable as different. The FRN notes come in both a light and dark green on the seal. The light green seal is worth a bit more. If the note is in new condition it would bring at least $15. There are also various series letters and in the case of the FR notes which of the 12 Federal Reserve banks issued it.
