How Much Is A 1995 5 Dollar Bill Worth?
The 1995 5 dollar bill is only worth the face value of five dollars because it's such a recent example and over 4 billion were printed.
Even a Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 EPQ like the Federal Reserve Star Note below is only worth about $25.

The 1995 $5 bill is a small-sized federal reserve note which measures 6.14 x 2.61 inches.
On the obverse of the $5 bill is an image of Abraham Lincoln in the center with FIVE DOLLARS written below it. Above the image is written THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
To the right hand side of the Lincoln portrait is the serial number L06666666B, the green Department of the Treasury seal, the note series 1995, and the signature of the Secretary of the Treasury Robert E Rubin.
The main areas of interest to the left side of the Lincoln Portrait include the Federal Reserve Bank District letter which in this case is L for California, the serial number and the signature of the Treasurer of the United States Mary Ellen Withrow.
