This is definitely an urban legend.\nIn fact, Canada does not currently have bank notes for either one or two dollar denominations.

There are experts that can authenticate the flag. They'll check to see if the dyes are right, the fabric, the style. Some of that would depent on when and where it was made. \n\nYou could do a lot youself, but it would take a lot of time\n\nGood luck

Actually, there are no "Masonic" symbols on our currency in the US.  The pyramid with the all seeing eye is not a Masonic symbol.  Although many of the symbols (The US Capitol, Monticello, etc.) are buildings with Masonic corner stones, the currency isn't loaded with Masonic secrets.\n\nDamned good movie though.

You can get all the info you want on US banknotes from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving at http://www.bep.treas.gov/ & on coinage from http://www.usmint.gov/ .\n\nBTW the previous posters are correct. Jefferson is on the face of the two dollar bill and on the heads side of the nickle.

While it may not be legal tender, many stores near the border will accept CA money. They usually will have their exchange rate posted [which may differ somewhat from the current exchange that you would receive at the bank]. If you do this, expect to receive US dollars in return.\n\nCoins are somewhat different. If you are regionally close to Canada, you can expect to find Canadian coins intermingled everywhere. Vending machines won't accept these coins, but generally cashiers won't take a second glance if you use a CA quarter instead of a US quarter. Don't expect to get an exchange for the coins at retail--they are basically accepted at face value.\n\nThe farther south that you travel, the less likely that people will recognize Canadian money--much less allow you to use it.

The reverse of the one dollar bill has an ornate design that incorporates the Great Seal of the United States, and it is of noted interest to historians and numerologists for the symbols contained therein.\n\nTo the left is the reverse of the seal which portrays an unfinished pyramid. The separated cap of the pyramid, portraying the all-seeing eye, symbolizes that the United States is still far from finished. The Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis (He [God] has favored our undertaking) is located above the pyramid. NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM (New Order of the Ages) is shown on a ribbon below the pyramid. Written at the base of the pyramid in Roman Numerals is MDCCLXXVI or 1776, the year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.

There should be a security strip....if you hold it up to the light you can see that it says 100   ( or whatever denomination you are checking)  There should also be a watermark....it should be a smaller version of the protrait of the president (franklin for the 100 although he wasn't a president)  that can also only be seen if you hold it up to the light....the watermark will not distort so if you find one with a funky watermark it's a fake....look at the lines that are close together and the small lettering....those are very hard to replicate without blurring or distorting....detail is the key.....one of the numbers in the corners (don't remember which one)should feel raised and change colors as you look at it at different angles.....there should be red and blue fibers visible....that's because money is not printed on paper but some form of cloth paper....You can try to carefully tear the bill....a real one will stretch a tiny bit where as a fake one on regular paper will rip...you can also feel the difference in paper.....You can try and buy one of those pens that banks use that change colors....you can try looking at it under a black light...a fake will light up like a flashlight....or you can wash it in the washing machine....regular paper will fade and fall apart in the first washing where as you would need to repeatedly wash real money until the appearance really changes..

Of course not.  There is no evidence what so ever to support this fact.  One conspiracy theory I've heard is that in the photo of the moon landing, you can see a prop marked with the letter C in the foreground.  According to proponents of this theory, the C is the type of mark used in theatre to organize props.\n\nUnfortunately, the so called c is obviously just a shadow on a rock.  And in prop work, the props are not marked with letters.\n\nThe moon landing was an important event in US history from a Cold War satnpoint.  At this period, the US and the USSR were competing in many arenas, of which the space program was just one.  Faking the moon landing would never have worked.  The USSR would not have fallen for it.\n\nAlso, about the flag "waving:"  The flag on the moon is made of metal formed into the shape of a moving flag.  It does not move, it simply appears to stand up as in wind.

The same rules apply to all American flags. View regulations at : http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

Many possible answers.  You have a dollar bill, a dollar coin, and two non-American coins.

We receive many letters asking why the $2 bill is no longer in circulation. Contrary to the impression of many people, the Treasury Department did not stop circulating the $2 bill. On September 12, 1996, Robert E. Rubin, the 70th Secretary of the Treasury, was presented with a new series $2 bill. The Series 1995 notes were printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) Western Currency Facility and bear the seal of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe $2 bill remains one of our circulating currency denominations. According to BEP statistics, 590,720,000 Series 1976 $2 bills were printed and as of February 28, 1999, there was $1,166,091,458 worth of $2 bills in circulation worldwide.\n\nThe key for successfully circulating the two-dollar bill is for retailers to use them just like any other denomination in their daily operations. In addition, most commercial banks will readily supply their retail customers with these bills if their customers request them in sufficient volume to justify stocking them in their vaults. However, neither the Treasury Department nor the Federal Reserve System can force the distribution or use of any denomination of currency on banks, businesses or individuals.

take it to a bank and have them check it. \n\n2.00 bills are older, so the watermark may not exist, if they were made some time ago.\n\nGenerally the feel of a counterfeit bill is smoother than a true bill. \n\nThe Bank will know. \nGood luck.

Unlike most countries in the world, when the government federalized money and it's printing, when bills and coins are replaced, they are still legal tender worth face value, regardless of their condition or age.  \n\nfor collectors, some money is worth much more than face value.  The value of the $2.00 bill, which has been widely circulated is pretty much still $2.00.  The real value in paper money is the silver and gold certificates...depending on the condition of the bill, can be worth thousands of $$$.
