What a blue treasury seal means on $2 bills and other currency

Ever seen a blue seal on a piece of currency? Many older dollar bills have them, which means you might only see them at a trade show. But what are they? In this video from the producer of the Two Dollar Bill Documentary, go beyond the numismatics to learn about silver certificates and the blue seals that often represent them. Was the Federal Reserve involved? How about the treasury? Are they wise to add to your banknote collection? Just watch. The video hits $2 bills and many other denominations
