    1935 $1 Silver Certificate and 1953 $2 Red Seals

    I've had these for as long as I can remember. I know they aren't worth much, but they are still cool to look at and think about all the places they have traveled.

    1935 $1 Silver Certificate
    A silver certificate dollar bill was legal tender issued by the United States government.

    When they were first issued, certificate holders could redeem them for a certain amount of silver.

    Certificates no longer carry monetary value as an exchange for silver.

    1953 $2 Red Seal B & C
    First printed in 1862, they never found favor with the American public.
    "The United States issued red seal two-dollar Legal Tender Notes between 1928 and 1966 (Series 1965). The front of the bill features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Charles Bert. The back of the note features Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, engraved by Joachim C. Benzing."

    "The treasury seal found on the note is bright red. In 1928 it was located on the left side of the note and moved to the right side of the note beginning with Series of 1953. "

    JINX
    "Retailers and banks did not prefer the two-dollar note since there was not a standard spot for it in cash registers and teller drawers. In the 1920s, it was considered a jinx to receive a two-dollar note. It was not allowed in some casinos and racetracks. Even today, some retailers refuse to accept them because they think they are counterfeit or "play money.""
