Five dollar bills from 1893 are often rare. They are referred to as national currency. These $5 bills from 1893 are part of a group of notes known as second charter national bank notes. Don’t get confused by the fact that 1893 and 1882 are printed on the $5 bill. 1893 is the charter date and 1882 is the series date. These bills can have either a brown seal or a blue seal. Brown seal five dollar bills tend to be more valuable. Their current value is based on the bank of issue, the serial number, and the condition. James Garfield is on the front of each note. In 1893 five dollars was the same as $168.50 today. A lot of people couldn’t afford to keep five dollars in 1893 as a curiosity item. For that reason and due to small printings, most 1893 five dollar bills are scarce to rare.
