I see that my dollar is still questionable about the color and the other similar are 69`s also. I havent found a place to have it tested aroud here. It seems if any bleach would have faded the obverse also. Hopefully it is some type of error in the ink it was printed with.
I would still like to know why they went yellow? More curious than ever now
Thanks for the response

I know this is an ancient thread but in a recent aquisition I made of 20 1 dollar bills one of them stood out from the rest because I have a series 1977A with an "F" seal on it that has the exact yellow toning that the OP posted a picture of. I only just got interested in collecting one dollar bills so I hope I described that correctly. Everyone here is seeing this issue with the 69 series which is odd because mine as I said is a 1977 issue. I can't post any pictures though because I've lost my camera. I assume a webcam picture probably wouldn't be good enough.

Hmmm, so it's not unique to just one series.
Curiouser and curiouser.

The reason the front of the note isn't effected is that the black ink isn't made of the same stuff as the green ink on the back. Hey, I know! Neil Shafer is in my coin club and George Cuhaj is up the road. I'll ask them.

As someone with over 25 years of collecting US paper money I can tell you that these are not errors. I have been asked about these types of notes for years. I have seen this on silver certificates and just about every series of $1.00 Federal Reserve notes. In fact, I have a few in a box somewhere in the house. I have also found that it is difficult to convince the questioner that they do not have anything more than a curiosity. When you see enough of them the first thing that will stick out is that all of the notes are well used. There are no UNC notes with this characteristic. You will not find a single one in a third party graded holder. But you will find plenty of them being hawked on ebay. What does that tell you? |

No one is arguing that the note is a BEP error. We're just curious about how it changed color.

I must have missed the more recent posts about my yellow back 1969 series one dollar. I am still very curious about
how? what? or why? I have left one in the sunny window for some time. Looks faded but still green, and no help from local coins shops. I don't know if a grading company would help or not.
I have always loved a challenge

Me too.
I've probably watched too much CSI on TV. It has made me think that we can find the answers to anything...and that isn't the case. There are just too many variables we'll never know about.

It is bleached. Spray the back only and the back only will bleach out. Nothing special here.

Has anyone else noticed that in all the photos of bills mentioned here it is obvious the the bill had been folded in half each way? The fold marks are similar on all the bills, more visible on the discolored reverse.

I just had a post apox 4/01/15 about PCGS had a sniffer? to detect chemicals used for cleaning coins (acetone) in the older US coin section this week A and I remember we had a lot of opinions about how this yellow dollar got that color.
I was wondering if the sniffer? could give any light on the color change mystery.
I am still very curious about it and if you knew me I need the answer before I give up.
