jtryka Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 In general, here are some loose rules: Seal Color: Green (any shade): Federal Reserve Note Brown: Hawaii silver certs, 1929 National Bank Notes (FRBNs) Blue: Silver Certificates (though seals on early large size FRNs were also blue) Red: Most common on legal tenders (United States Notes) though they also appeared on large size FRNs, Silver Certificates, Treasury Notes. Gold: Mostly gold certificates, also on North Africa silver certificates. The numbers and letters (at least the first letters in serial numbers) correspond to the Federal Reserve Bank branch that issued the note (on modern notes). The numbers/letters are as follows: 1-A Boston 2-B New York 3-C Philadelphia 4-D Cleveland 5-E Richmond 6-F Atlanta 7-G Chicago 8-H St. Louis 9-I Minneapolis 10-J Kansas City 11-K Dallas 12-L San Francisco On denominations larger than $2, the serial number begins with a 2-letter sequence, the second letter corresponds to the FRB of issue, while the first letter corresponds to the series: A=1996 B=1999 C=2001 D=2003 E=2004 F=2003A G=2004A And although I haven't seen one, I suppose the series 2006 notes would correspond to H.
