I recently bought a 1929 $100 national bank note with the bank on the note being "Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association...San Francisco". After a little research, Bank of America wasnt officially in San Fran until 1930(unless the internet lied to me)
I was wondering if this might be the first year of issue for Bank of America national bank notes?
The small sized national bank note period is from 1929 - 1935 and unlike coins, notes are printed with the series date rather than the year of the printing. This series may appear on currency for a few years before it changes.
From Wikipedia:
Quote: In 1928, A. P. Giannini merged with Bank of America, Los Angeles and consolidated it with his other bank holdings to create what would become the largest banking institution in the country. He renamed his Bank of Italy November 3, 1930, calling it Bank of America. The merger was completed in early 1929 and took the name Bank of America. The combined company was headed by Giannini with Orra E. Monnette serving as co-Chair.
