    My question is does the serial number on paper money always have letter(s) that match in the front and the end?

    No, the majority of time they do not match. Sometimes they do, but not nearly as often as they don’t.

    On a $1 note the leading letter will be the same as the federal reserve bank identification. The trailing letter will change with each printing run, starting with A and ending in whatever letter corresponds to the last run.

    At stated, the F in the serial number is the same as the Federal Reserve Bank. In this case with your bill it's Atlanta, Georgia. The trailing letter, again in your case, is an F or the 6th time $1.00 bills were printed for the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Then someone damaged the bill by writing Tina's name.

    Also are u saying that the F is six times on here or are u trying to reprimand me for asking a question?

    Not at all. Just trying to explain to help you understand. The first F will always be there if the bills are going to Atlanta. The trailing letter on the first run was A. The next run was a B, then C. F is the 6th letter of the alphabet so your note was in the sixth printing of $1.00 bills for the Atlanta Federal Reserve.

    As to its value, even in pristine condition it's only worth one dollar.

    No problem. I've found that texting is not always the best but sometimes it's the only way we can communicate. Have a great evening!
