i think both of them are correct.

1.if you used "is" , it means there is only one ( $2000 bill )!
2. if you used "are" , it means there are "many" ($2000 bills) !

I agree with endeavour, but for a slightly different reason. In the first sentence you are really saying "here is a sum/total/gift, etc of $2000 dollars", so you are talking about a single item. In the second you are talking about the dollars - plural.

Hello,
To my knowledge, sums of money are regarded as singular.
Here is 2000 dollars.
2000 dollars is a pretty penny.
Here are 2000 one-dollar notes.
