This US Dollar Bill Is Worth Up To $4.5K & You Need To Look For These Small Details

There are plenty of rare American coins worth so much more than their actual value, but what about United States' paper currency worth the normal $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, or even the $2 bill?

The answer is yes. Some collectors will pay thousands for different "rare" or "misprinted" American money, depending on what it is and if it's in the right condition.

For those lucky enough (or unlucky, if you believe in the old myth) to have the lesser-printed $2 bill, you might want to take a closer look at a few of its details that could be worth a huge $4,500.

Now, we're specifically talking about the two-dollar printed in 1890 that was once worth a measly little two bucks.

However, that has changed. According to US Currency Auctions, two versions of this bill could be worth from $550 to $4,500 to collectors.

So here's all you need to know and look for if you have that special $2 bill from 1890.

The valuable 1890 treasury notes are regarded as rare because they stopped printing them in 1893, when the Secretary of Treasury allowed for the notes to be exchanged in return for silver or gold coins, which means there aren't very many left.

Through all of the bill's "ornate designs," you will find either a brown or a red seal on the right side of the copy, next to the face of General James McPherson.

"All notes from the series of 1890 have a serial number that ends with a star symbol," according to Old Currency Values.

If you see these two important details plus the correct year, you might want to get it evaluated by a collector to confirm its condition and if it's a circulated note or the more valuable uncirculated version.

An uncirculated $2 bill produced in 1890 was bought at auction for $4,500, data from USCA shows, which means that you could be the next one to earn as much if you have that paper currency in your belongings.
