How value is judged
Collectors judge a Series 2009 $2 Bill by condition first (crisp and uncirculated versus folded or worn), then by whether it is a star note or carries a fancy serial number, then by the series letter and any recognised variety. Published price guides list ranges by grade and they move over time; this page gives none. Photograph both sides in even light and let the app read the series, seal and signatures before you compare.
FAQ
How do I know which Series 2009 letter my bill is?
The series year and letter are printed on the face near the portrait. If the letter is worn, match the two signatures against the list above; each letter has its own pair.
Is a Series 2009 $2 Bill still legal tender?
Yes, at face value.
Does a star make my undefined Series 2009 note rare?
Only if its print run was small. The star alone does not.
