Whatever you do, don't cash it in for face. That bill would get shredded by the FRB if they got their hands on it.
It's a US Bank Note aka legal tender (meaning it's a direct obligation of the US Treasury unlike FRB notes we use today). It's definitely worth more than face, no matter what any dealer tells you.
It's even sweeter that you found it in circulation. Usually only the $2 legal tenders can be found in circulation due to their low circulation numbers.

I love the "red seal" U.S. Notes. Just because they're different and a bit of fresh air! You're right, these are very uncommon in circulation. I've been looking at my money for decades, and probably only found two red seals.
I'm guessing that it's worth about twice the face value, but probably worth more to a treasure hunter!

The price guide says the '53B Smith-Dillon is worth $10 in fine condition and $15 in XF.

its just a US note instead of a treasury note, nothing really special about them and in the condition you mentioned it may be worth a couple dollars

Alot of dealers wouldnt pay over face for it (I have actually seen a dealer turn someone down who offered one to him for $6), but it has alot of "coolness" value. definitely do not spend it.

I keep all old notes as well I get from circulation even though they may not be worth much over face value right now, they may be when I decide to pass them on to a family member way down the road (I hope anyway)
