2009 $2 Bill Value: How Much Is It Worth?
By Muhammad Khalid Hussain; published ; updated
A 2009 $2 bill is almost always worth exactly $2. It is a modern green seal Federal Reserve Note printed in ordinary numbers. The premium sits in star notes, low or fancy serials and crisp uncirculated grade, and a couple of 2009 star runs are on the smaller side.
The short answer
A 2009 $2 bill is a modern green seal Federal Reserve Note, and a circulated example is worth its two-dollar face value. It was printed in ordinary numbers, so the plain note is common. A 2009 note is worth more only as a star note, with a low or patterned serial, or in crisp uncirculated condition.
Star notes are the most dependable premium, and a couple of 2009 district star runs are on the smaller side. The charts below show recorded value ranges and the star runs by district, and you can check your own serial below.
