Not All Money Are Coins

Do you have a currency note and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I blog of found coins, out-of-pocket or given by family and a few times I've bought coins from the mint or stores. I've found coins from over 50 countries and spanning 100 years also errors and proofs(not meant for circulation), luckily I live somewhere where coins are constantly being rotated and the Federal Mint sends new coins in abundance. All that said numismatics isn't limited to coins.
numismatic
nu·mis·mat·ic (nū'mĭz-măt'ĭk, -mĭs-, nyū'-) pronunciation
adj.
1. Of or relating to coins or currency.
2. Of or relating to numismatics.
[French numismatique, from Late Latin numisma, numismat-, coin, variant of Latin nomisma, from Greek, custom, current coin, from nomizein, to have in use, from nomos, custom.]
nu'mis·mat'i·cal·ly adv.

So what does this all mean well that I've also found currency or bills that are old, rare and in error. Let's start with the most common I've found and what I get asked about the most.
It's a 1 dollar note dated 1935E, the E represents a change in the design of the 1935 bill also the year 1935 may not be when it's issued instead the year the first note was issued until a major design change. The next dollar bill year would be 1957.

These bills from 1928-1957B are called Silver Certificates because of the the words Silver Certificate on the top and a promise written on them for an equal amount of silver upon the request of the bearer. The silver give back was discontinued in March 1964 for silver dollars and June 1968 of silver bullion.

The date is located on the front under and left of the blue seal. These are small size notes, the same size as current notes, and are the most common old notes found in the United States.


The back is almost the same as current notes.
