<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 962170, member: 11668&quot;]In the old days, they only changed the series year when there was an actual design change. If only the signatures changed, then the series year stayed the same, but the letter incremented.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the original Series 1935 did go into production that year, and did have the Julian-Morgenthau signatures. But the design lasted through some thirty years and eight signature combinations, ending with the 1935H notes (Granahan-Dillon) printed in 1963.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, the rules changed in 1974: Now, every new Secretary of the Treasury gets a new series year. So the only way to get a lettered series, like 2003A, is to have the Treasurer change while the Secretary remains in office. In practice, the Secretaries tend to turn over more than the Treasurers do, so lettered series aren&#039;t too common any more. If the rules *hadn&#039;t* changed, the Series 2009 $1&#039;s would be called Series 1969T! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and I think the previous poster has got the wrong link, so try <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/chron_s.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/chron_s.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a> instead....&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
