The "series" date on paper currency appears on the face of the note at the bottom right of the portrait. The series date without a suffix letter indicates (a) the year production started after approval of the original design, (b) when there was a major revision to the currency note design, or (c) when the manner of printing changed. A minor revision in the design or a change in the signature of the Treasurer is indicated by an addition of a suffix letter to the series year. The series date does not change each calendar year as it does on coins. The year in which the currency is actually printed is not indicated on the note.

You can find them on eBay, but they cost more than $500.00.\n\n-Cory\n\n\nOn July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose. While these notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today, the Federal Reserve Banks remove them from circulation and destroy them as they are received.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces 38 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $541 million. That doesn't mean there is $541 million more money circulating today than there was yesterday, though, because 95% of the notes printed each year are used to replace notes already in circulation.\nThats only in the US.

go to a book store and buy a copy of Official Guide to U S Paper Money. Or if you have just a few, don't even buy the book, just right down the pertinent information and go look it up in the book store. Condition is critial to the value. Generally, a note in good condition is worth about 10% of what a note in uncirulated condition is worth. I assume they are U S notes.

the silver, which is the common currency. However the silver was not minted. It circulated as ingots which weighed a nominal liang (about 36 grammes) although purity and weight varied from region to region. \nIt was only in the very last years of the Ming dyansty when Li Zicheng threatened Beijing in 1643 and 1644 that paper currency took place again.

The amount of money is constantly fluctuating.\n\nEach country regulates its own currency.  If you print too much, the value of your currency will decrease.  The value of the money is based on the country's productivity.  The USA has the biggest GNP at $11.75 trillion.  A country's currency will go up or down in value based on the actions in that country.  If it prints more money, its value will drop in comparison to other countries that are not printing out more money.

Article I of the US Constitution gives Congress the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures."\n\nThey oversee the treasury and decide how much money to print with the assistance of the US Treasury Department.  This is done based upon economic forecasts, the value of the dollar verses other currencies and the need for the money.  They may want to print more money to create inflation (which lowers unemployment) or limit the money to create savings.\n\nThey also print money to compensate for the money that is being constantly taken out of circulation (you trade in a ripped dollar at a bank and they destroy it and print a new one to replace it).\n\nThe Federal Bank handle fiscal policy (such as interest rates and borrowing guidelines), not monetary policy (how much to actually spend).

True but only partially.  American bills are a composition of both cloth fibers and paper. This not only helps them to last longer but also deters against counterfieting. If you look closely at a bill you can see the little fibers that sometimes even have their own color.

Actually, we don't have all presidents on our currency.\n\nWe have Hamilton (secretary of the treasury) on the $10, Franklin (postmaster general) on the $100, Sacagewea (indian guide for lewis & clark) on the $1 coin and Susan B Anthony (feminist) on the $1 coin.\n\nOn previous issues of currency, there was also Salmon P. Chase on some high denomination bill ($100,000 or something).\n\nOn specie, we've had buffalos, Indians and Eagles on different coins.

In the usa currencies are no longer backed by gold, it ended in the 1930's or 1960's i think.  It is now backed by the good faith of the usa government. Printing too much money would cause inflation for what one pays for good or services.\nThink of money like barry bonds rookie card.  If someone started dropping them from planes and passing them out at walmarts until everyone has one the value of the card would deflate because of supply and demand, now, imagine i want you to plow my driveway, are you gonna do it for a barry bonds rookie card knowing that everyone in the country has one. The world bank sets the amount, along with federal reserve and treasury department.

There r several machine to check those fake USD$. The way which I check the dollar is by its color. Just fold the note and rub it on a clean plain paper like how u strike match stick to make fire, if it leaves a mark or color then it is original and if it doesn't it is duplicate. I learned this in a training in Dubai.

Well, we here at the paper institute have researched your question and have determined the following : \nThe United States produces and uses a third of the world's paper. Forests in the southeastern U.S. now supply a quarter of the global supply of paper. The average U.S. citizen uses more than 650 pounds of paper annually. People in developing countries, in contrast, use only 40 pounds of paper a year on average—in India, the figure is nine pounds, while in 20 countries in Africa, it's less than one pound.\nWe don't know.  .

TEN DOLLAR BILL:\n\n"REDESIGNED $10 NOTE STARTS CIRCULATING TODAY\nU.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service Officials Spend First New $10 at the National Archives\n\nWashington - March 2, 2006 - The redesigned $10 note entered circulation today at the National Archives, home of the U.S. Constitution, which figures prominently in the new note’s design.\n\nOn its first day in circulation, officials from the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Secret Service used a new $10 note to purchase a pocket-sized copy of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Shop. The phrase "We the People" from the U.S. Constitution is featured on the face of the new $10 note. Images of the Statue of Liberty’s torch are also incorporated into the new design.\n\nToday is the redesigned $10 note’s day of issue, the day the Federal Reserve System begins delivering the new notes to commercial banks for distribution to businesses and the public worldwide. The notes will begin circulating immediately in the United States and will then be introduced in other countries in the days and weeks ahead, as international banks place orders for $10 notes from the Federal Reserve.\n\n"Staying ahead of would-be counterfeiters is a top priority of the U.S. government, and in order to do that, our currency will need to be redesigned every seven to 10 years," said United States Treasurer Anna Cabral. "Through the introduction of new designs with state-of-the-art security features, we will continue to safeguard the integrity of U.S. currency and help protect businesses and consumers."\n\nThe new $10 note incorporates easy-to-use security features for people to check their money and subtle background colors in shades of orange, yellow and red. \n\nWhile consumers should not use color to check the authenticity of their currency, color does add complexity to the note, making counterfeiting more difficult. Different colors are being used for different denominations, which will help everyone – particularly those who are visually impaired – to tell denominations apart. \n\n"In addition to recognizing the design elements and enhanced security features of the new $10 note, it is important for the public to know they will not need to trade in old notes for new ones," said Michael Lambert, Assistant Director of Federal Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems. "Older-design notes will maintain their full face value." \n\nSince unveiling the new $10 note design last September, the U.S. government has distributed more than 10 million pieces of educational material with information about the new $10 note to prepare businesses, stakeholder organizations and consumers worldwide for the new note’s issue. \n\n"Each time we issue a redesigned denomination, our goal is to ensure its smooth transition into daily commerce both domestically and abroad," said Bureau of Engraving and Printing Director Larry Felix. "Over the past six months, we have worked with manufacturers of ATMs and other machines that receive and dispense cash, as well as retailers, small businesses and international governments, so that they may prepare for today’s day of issue of the redesigned $10 note." \n\n"As the permanent home of the U.S. Constitution, the National Archives is pleased that the U.S. Treasury has featured the Constitution in the new $10 bill," said Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein.\n\nThe new $10 note – like the redesigned $20 and $50 that preceded it – incorporates stateof- the-art security features to combat counterfeiting, including three that are easy to use by cash handlers and consumers alike: \n\nColor-shifting ink: Tilt your ten to check that the numeral "10" in the lower righthand corner on the face of the note changes color from copper to green. \nWatermark: Hold the note up to the light to see if a faint image of Treasury Secretar
