Instead notes are issued in a series - and every note issued during the particular series will have the same date on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example - the 1995 series includes all notes issued for the years &#039;95, &#039;96, &#039;97 &amp; &#039;98. Every note issued for these years bears the same date of 1995.</p><p><br /></p><p>A new series was issued beginning in 1999 so notes from that series bear the &#039;99 date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what Nd is trying to tell you is that since the note you are asking about has the date of 1981 - it may be considered old for a couple of reasons. Number 1 - the expected life span of 1 dollar bill in circulation is 18 months. That&#039;s all the longer they last as a general rule. So a note that is 20 yrs old - can be considered old. They seldom last that long.</p><p><br /></p><p>Number 2 - there have been many series of notes issued in the past 20 yrs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
