$2 bill could be worth thousands, depending on age and condition

If you have any old $2 bills lying around, it could be your lucky day!

According to the U.S. Currency Auctions' pricing guide, depending on certain factors, a $2 bill — aka the "Tom" with its portrait of third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson — could be worth a lot more, even up to $5,000.

U.S. Currency Auctions estimates in its guide that uncirculated $2 bills from before 1917 could fetch more than $1,000.

The guide notes that uncirculated bills from 1890, featuring a red seal, could be worth upwards of $4,000.

Art Pinto, the manager of Legacy Coins and Curiosities in Lutz, Florida, said that there are a number of contributing factors that help indicate the value of a $2 bill.

Newer bills have a green seal and are likely worth face value, Pinto told FOX 13. If the bill has a red seal, it is likely older, and the value generally starts to increase.

"If you're looking for a high-dollar $2 bill, it would be pre-1900, and it would have to be in a very high condition graded condition," said Pinto.
