somewhere on here there is a thread that talked about the district letter and where it was printed whether it was D.C. or Fortworth if i remember right letters A through E were printed in D.C ..and some E's and through L were printed in Fortworth..the reason i ask is I have a $1 from 74 that was printed in L district but doesnot carry the fw
The Fort Worth facility was not completed until 1991. All notes prior to then would have been printed in DC.
http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/note.html Is this what you are talking about? * A1: Boston, MA * B2: New York, NY * C3: Philadelphia, PA * D4: Cleveland, OH * E5: Richmond, VA * F6: Atlanta, GA * G7: Chicago, IL * H8: St. Louis, MO * I9: Minneapolis, MN * J10: Kansas City, MO * K11: Dallas, TX * L12: San Francisco, CA
And even today, there's not a strict pattern of which notes are printed where. For the high-production denominations like the $1 and $20, Washington usually prints for the eastern districts and Fort Worth for the western districts, though exceptions exist. But the rest of the production is often divided up by denomination rather than by district; Washington hasn't printed a $5 or $10 in almost three years, for example, while Fort Worth had never printed a $100 at all until last summer.
