What is the Friedberg number of this note? It's not showing in my book. I assumed it would be Fr.3004E*, but it's not showing in my U.S. Paper Money 9th Edition book. Thanks for you help!
You are correct, though the format is technically: Fr. 3004-E* The 9th edition of the "Paper Money of the United States" was published in 1978, hence no 2017 notes are included. For modern currency you might consider buying Whitman's "A Guide Book of United States Paper Money", published 2026, which is (slightly ironically) the 9th edition. It uses the Friedberg numbering system. (For those who may be interested: "3004" = The Friedberg classification for all 2017 $1 Federal Reserve Notes with the 2 signatures: Carranza and Mnuchin. "-E" = The letter suffix assigned to designate the Richmond Federal Reserve District. "*" = Denotes that the serial number ends in an asterisk, which reflects that it was a replacement star note rather than a standard block issue note.)

I just checked. You are (as you know) 100% correct. I'm surprised as well. But then... Whitman's books (as is true with the 9th edition, 2026 publication) tend to be more broad-based valuation guides rather than exhaustive catalogued volumes (as is the 9th edition, 1978 publication). I just 'googled' (actually I just duckduckgo'd) what meticulously exhaustive, full-scale reference of US currency was most recently published. It looks like the winner is: Friedberg Master Encyclopedia, 23rd Edition, 2024. You can probably find a less pricey, perhaps used copy, but just to 'note' a point of 'reference' (puns intended)... here is a link to a new hardback copy... https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Money-United-States-Illustrated/dp/087184723X
Thanm you so much for your knowledge. Do you know how many were printed? I'm cataloging my notes and I can't find any data on this one. Kind of frustrating to be honest.
Bottom-line: I think 3.2 Million is the answer. By a fluke I stumbled on the info through a quick eBay search for 2017 series $1 bills. The below info came from a listing of a slightly different $1 bill than you have ("F" rather than "E"): https://www.ebay.com/itm/157138248498 I can't vouch for the veracity of the data, but I would have no reason to specifically doubt it. You could message the seller via eBay and inquire of the exact source. The info below from that listing shows quantities for the 2017 bills from both "E" & "F". The yellow highlighted portion is mine to denote your "E" info, the other pink-ish/peach-ish highlight was done by the seller of the 'F' note. Notice they were still printing the Series 2017 at least as late as February of 2019. (It's interesting how long some years remain in active production. They were still printing $1 bills with the "1935" date until 1963. And that was 6 years beyond the year the 1957 Series began production. But there were extenuating circumstances due to changeover in printing methods.)
Thanknyou for all your help! Making a binder for every $1 note from 1963-present. Now I'm so afraid I'm missing stuff. What a pain it would be to have to move the labels if there's one missing that I discover afterwards...
