Value
Most of these bills in circulated condition will only be worth their face value of $1. The standard bills that are in uncirculated condition can sell for a premium. Star notes will also sell for a premium.
The 1974 series $1 bills are worth around $4.50 in uncirculated condition with a grade of MS 63.
Star Notes
Star notes are replacement bills that the United States Federal Reserve printed. These star notes are more rare and thus more valuable. You can tell if you have a star note by looking to see if there is a star symbol at the end of the serial number.
Most 1974 series $1 star notes are worth around $3-7 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $10-15 for notes with an MS 63 grade. Star notes issued from the Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Minneapolis will be worth more money.
