2003 $1 Bill, L-L

Have a 2003 dollar bill and want to know its value?

Not quite ten years old despite the series date of 2003. It was printed in early 2005 and is among the most common since it was issued through the San Fransisco Federal Reserve.


Most San Fransisco and New York printing runs are very high. While most runs go into the hundreds of millions these two federal banks generally print into the billions. Since San Fransisco serves all of California and the Pacific Coast they often have the most printings of one dollar bills.


As you may notice in the top left corner a little green line is coming through. That is a Cutting Mark used by optical readers to cut the sheets of notes into individual dollar bills. They should be cut centered and just a little in front of the cutting mark. Sometimes they are not and it happens often enough that this is not considered a true error. Also it does not add value especially on a one dollar bill.

Here's the stats for this bill...
Type/Federal Bank: $1 Note-Fort Worth / San Fransisco
Year: 2003
Printings: 1,267,200,000
Printed: February 2005
Run: 8th of 15 from L44800001L - L51200000L
Value: $1.50 in CU

Do you have currency 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.

Possible Misaligned Overprint error about $300.00 but it has to be verified in hand.

It is possible to fake this error with and iron and some chemicals.
