Question
i have six 1995 uncirlculated 2 dollar bills how do i tell the difference between the types of 1995 bills?      also what is a good book or site to use for values of coins and bills?

Answer
Actually, Justin, books are really not the answer.  They take too long to come to print and by the time they do the values in them are already old.  The newspapers and magazines are current and the best.  Try Coin World by Amos Press or the coin publications by Krause.  They each have websites.  Also try going to www.ebay.com and doing searches for things you are interested in (like 2 dollar bills) and see what is for sale.  Jim Lawniczak
