Some newer bills, such as those printed in 2003, could have significant value, CBS News reported.

The auction site U.S. Currency Auctions estimates that uncirculated $2 bills from nearly every year up to 1917 are worth at least $1,000.

A $2 bill with a red seal can sell for $3 to $2,500. Those with brown or blue seals can sell for hundreds.
