 with Steve. USPaperMoneyInfo. It has limited information on large size notes but has a wealth of accurate information for small size notes.  |

Thanks to all for the replies. The "Chronology of Small-Size Notes" list on the http://www.uspapermoney.info site from SteveInTampa has an amazing list. Just what I was looking for. |

Another website I occasionally use is the BEP monthly production figure page. https://www.moneyfactory.gov/resour...monthly.htmlWhen you click on any particular month, the DC facility is listed first followed by FW. I made a screenshot of a random month showing production figures for June 2016 from both facilities. Now, a trivia question for members....when viewing the charts, under NOTE SERIES, you will see a letter following the series date which is an "S" or a "G"...does anyone here know what the S or G designates ?   |

AFAIK, the letters ''S'' and ''G'' (there's also ''N'') stand for the design generation of the notes.
S: original smaller-portrait designs
G: for the latest colorized designs
N: for the previous non-color designs that were used between 1995 and 2013
Why the BEP has chosen the letters S/N/G...I don't know

Redlock is correct.
S is for standard (non-colorized) security paper, $1s and $2s
G is for colorized security paper
N is for non-colorized Big Head design.

Good question.
The BEP initiated this in May 2003 and has continued it since. Maybe it's an internal thing.

I prefer books to websites.
My go-to book is:
Collector's Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes: Series 1963-2009 by Robert Azpiazu
A bit dated now (only to 2009) but a newer edition is in the works.
Slightly older is:
The Collector's Guide to $1 FRN's: Series 1963-2003A by Robert Azpiazu
And for the slightly more obscure is:
The Standard Handbook of $1 Web-Fed Test Notes - 1988A, 1993 1995: Second Edition by Bob Kvederas Jr. & Bob Kvederas Sr.

I often reach for a reference book in my library versus looking something up online (unless I am trying to find current market value). Physical library is also ideal for those times when the electricity goes out and I'm in the middle of collection research by candlelight.  Edited by CelticKnot
