Small Size Federal Reserve Note Type Set, $1 Through $100

While I'm not quite done with my small size Federal Reserve Note type set, I thought I'd share what I have so far. I now have all the Friedberg design numbers for $1 through $100, 33 notes in all. When I eventually acquire the $500 and $1000 notes, they'll be worthy of their own topic. The $5000 and $10,000 notes are so astronomically far out of my budget I simply ignore them .

I know many find the small FRNs boring, but a type set nicely shows the evolution of the notes from 1928 to date. Most changes between the Friedberg designs are subtle up until the major redesigns of the $5 through $100 notes starting in the 1990's, but all those changes tell an interesting little story.

There is a single Friedberg design number for the $1 and $2 denominations, as well as for all the large denominations. There are 6 design numbers for each of the $5, $10, $50 and $100 denominations, and 7 for the $20 (there is an additional one for the $20 when the reverse was redesigned during the series of 1934-C, as illustrated below).

I have an extremely brief description of the key differences between the designs included with each note. These pics are screen grabs from a Powerpoint file I put together, something I've started doing for my various type sets. I just made this Powerpoint today, so I've not done a careful proofread yet. Apologies in advance for any goofs, as well as the so-so quality of the screen grab images...
