$1 Bill with an X serial number

Is there anything special about a one dollar bill with an x on the end of the serial number?

Not particularly, no. They just stand out because the X block isn't printed very often. Until they were recently printed for series 2009 $1 and 2009A $100 notes, the last time they were printed was for series $1 1995 and $100 1996 notes. Y block notes are even less commonly encountered because they were last printed in 1999. It seems apparent that the BEP purposely avoids printing the Y block as well.

 

Funny, I pulled an 09 X block today. Never seen one before.

 

Something different for sure

 

I see them often in my cash register at work. I'm not sure if they are more abundant in the Northeast, but I'm in the Boston area, I usually notice they are mostly nice crisp bills, slightly circulated.

 

X marks the spot?

 

is dollar bill without "in God we trust" missing valuable?

 

Not necessarily. The condition is very important. "In God We Trust" wasn't added to U.S. currency until 1957. Was it a Silver Certificate?

 

I don't know--- I need to check it--- Thank you

There's nothing special about the X except that it's rare that they get that far in the alphabet before one of the signatories changes and they start all over again with a new series

What about a 1957 series $1 bill with an X in the beginning of the serial number? or a red seal $2 bill both beginning and ending with A?

Starting in series 1953, every $2 Legal Tender (red seal) had an “A” suffix and prefix. Nothing unusual about that.

Some collectors look for a nice example of high suffixed aces kid the L-X and L-Y block notes.

 

I live in the midwest in Nebraska and if we find an access always really worn and beaten down. I wish I could find some that were crisp.. I have yet to find a "Y".

 

The three "X" notes that I know I have are:
1995 New York (B2)
1995 New York (B2)
1988A Atlanta (F6)
All three were printed in Washington D.C.
I have no "Y" notes yet.

 

This thread is over 5 years old. Best to start a new thread and post photos.

 

Actually, "I'm God We Trust" began appearing on series 1935H $1 Silver certificates

 

Actually it was the 1935 G series that it first appeared on, hence the "1935G W/Motto"
