722:***Originally series 2009 $ 100 notes were scheduled to be released in February 2011 but were delayed because of major printing problems. However, due to intense demand for $ 100 bills from banks, Series 2006A (with the same Cabral-Paulson signatures as series 2006 notes) was printed, using the series 1996 design instead of the new 2009 design. The redesigned $ 100 note was finally issued in October 2013 as series 2009A, not series 2009 as the defective notes were dated. The 2009 series notes were sorted and the defective notes were destroyed. Notes found to be acceptable were eventually issued from early 2016. Both series of 2009 and 2009A notes bear the same Rios-Geithner signatures. 459:: 1928E $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1934 $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1935 $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1935A $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1934 $ 5 Silver Certificate, 1934A $ 5 Silver Certificate, 1933A $ 10 Silver Certificate, 1934 $ 10 Silver Certificate, 1934A $ 10 Silver Certificate, 1928C $ 2 United States Note, 1928D $ 2 United States Note, 1928B $ 5 United States Note, 1928C $ 5 United States Note, 1934 $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 Federal Reserve Notes, 1934A $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 Federal Reserve Notes. 63: 139: 22: 99: 512:-Dillon: 1935H $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1957B $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1953C $ 5 Silver Certificate, 1953C $ 2 United States Note, 1953C $ 5 United States Note, 1963 $ 2 United States Note, 1963 $ 5 United States Note, 1950D $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 Federal Reserve Notes, 1963 $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, and $ 20 Federal Reserve Notes. 719:**The first printing of 2006 $ 5 notes (approximately 409 million notes) used the 1996-generation designs. After rumors surfaced that people were bleaching $ 5 bills to make them resemble $ 100 bills, the note's design was changed as an afterthought and over 2.1 billion bills were produced with the new 2004-generation designs. 432:-Mellon: 1928 $ 10 Gold Certificate, 1928A $ 1 Silver Certificate, 1928A $ 2 United States Note, 1928 $ 5 United States Note, 1928A $ 5, $ 10, and $ 20 Federal Reserve Notes, 1928B $ 5, $ 10, and $ 20 Federal Reserve Notes, 1928 $ 50 and $ 100 Federal Reserve Notes, 1928A $ 50 and $ 100 Federal Reserve Notes. 367:

of 1869. Before that, paper currency was identified only by the act authorizing it, for example, the act of March 3, 1863. For these bills, the serial number uniquely identified the bill, except for some issues that exceeded one million bills. In that case, the sequence of serial numbers was

restarted, and an extra overprint of 'Series 1' was added to the bill. When one million bills in 'Series 1' were printed, 'Series 2' was used, and so on. 'Series 187' is the highest series number of this sort that was used, on the United States Notes of 1863, in the $ 5 denomination.

A change in Treasurer is still considered a minor change. The 2017A series was due to a minor change in production, possibly of the ink used.
