What is the value of a 1985 US 5 dollar bill with no serial numbers?
Depending on the nature of the error, it could be worth $200 to $500 at retail. Missing serial numbers can occur if the bill wasn't fed through the part of the printing process that adds the seal and serial numbers, or if it was fed in upside down and the seal and serial numbers were printed on the back. In any case it should be seen by a dealer or appraiser who specializes in error currency.
What do serial numbers on the back of a watch mean?

What do the numbers in a currency serial number stand for?
They're simply sequential numbers printed on the bills by a device that looks a bit like an old-fashioned mechanical odometer in a car. Every bill that's printed clicks the counter up by one digit. Except for "unusual" numbers (e.g. 00000005, 33333333, 12345678, etc.) the serial number on a bill does not affect its value.
Why does money have red serial numbers?
Most do not (they have green serial numbers). Usually its to prevent counterfeiting by using an ink that previously counterfeiters didn't have. All sorts of ink was used in the "large sized" series of US notes, but in the small sized, a general rule of thumb is: Brown serial number - National Bank note Blue serial number - Silver Certificate Red serial number - United States Note Yellow serial number - Gold certificate Green serial number - Federal Reserve Note However, these guidelines may not always be the case, especially as it relates to older (pre-1928) currency
