With old notes (When banks issued there own notes) the banks name would be on the note. Now banknotes are issued in different areas by the Federal Reserve Banks they are split into 12 regions 1 Boston A 2 New York City B 3 Philadelphia C 4 Cleveland D 5 Richmond E 6 Atlanta F 7 Chicago G 8 St Louis H 9 Minneapolis I 10 Kansas City J 11 Dallas K 12 San Francisco L The letter identifies were the note originates from Hope that this helps
Nope this would mean that this note is from the New York Bank District, the H at the end part of what is called the serial block. Here is some info from my book that I have here: "On Federal Reserve notes, the prefix letter is always the same as the bank letter". So for New York notes the prefix on the serial number would always be a B. The suffix letter cycles through the alphabet as notes are produced -- therefore generating serial number blocks like BxxxxxxxxA, BxxxxxxxxB, BxxxxxxxxC right through BxxxxxxxxZ, always skipping the letter O - which is never used as a prefix or suffix. For any other type of notes (non-FRN notes) numbering always begins with the AA block, but after the first 100 millons notes the first letter that changes is the prefix. This repeats until the until the ZA block is used up (100 million notes), then the prefix changes to B and the suffix starts out again at A. Hope this helps, the book I got this from is "Standard Guide to Small-Sized US Paper Money - 1928 to Date, 8th Edition" by Schwartz and Lindquist. Smaugy
