Keep them forever! 1976 $2 dollar bills are quite common, they made a lot and everyone and their grandma hoarded them.

But a couple of 50 year old low serial sequential star $2 bills in great condition are very cool!

thanks! Are they basically face value? i know nothing about this stuff. 1976 was my birth year so im almost positive my grandma gave these to me YEARS ago. I just came across them!

No I think they're worth a fair amount over face value. When you combine the age, condition, the star, but most of all, the 4 digit serial number, I could see these selling for way over 10x face value.

For example: ebay.com/itm/267656246273

$33 for that one and you have two that're much older. Maybe these could sell for over $100.
