<p>[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1047385, member: 27107"]A direct quote from the Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S.Paper Money 1928 to Date ; " Prior to the series 1974, the series date on the face of each bill indicated the year in which the face design of the note was adopted. The capital letter following the series year indicates that a minor change was authorized in a particular series. Such a change occurred with a new Secretary of the Treasury or Treasurer of the United States. This policy was changed when William E. Simon became Secretary of the Treasury. He directed that the series year would be changed whenever there was a change in Office of the Secretary of the Treasury. Now the series dates are advanced by one letter, or a new year is selected, the latter being more common recently. Consequently, each new signature now results in a surprise for the collector" Unlike coins, the series year on paper currency has little to do with when it was printed by the BEP, and even less with the release date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
