The last of the old fashion twenties that most of us grew up knowing. It lacks the multicolor of new bills and has smaller features. It does have a security strip but lacks many of the common security features on modern notes which in a time of home printing became a big concern.
Even when the the 1995 series notes were approved the fact that people can scan and print at home was a concern. Slowly scanners and printers had software installed that prevents U.S. notes and bills to get copied. For counterfeiters it was getting easier to go around that issue so it was up to the government to find a new design and new features that make copying harder.
For those "old folks" like me who liked the old design this 1995 series note marks an end of an era. Current money seems funny like Monopoly money. Do not get me wrong I will still use and earn more but the look is odd if you grew up with the old type.
Here's the stats for this bill...
Type/Federal Bank: $20 Note - Fort Worth / Atlanta
Year: 1995
Printings: 307,200,000
Printed: May 1997
Run: 4th of 15 from F19200001C - F25600000C
Value: $20.00 in VF
