I'm from Sweden and I'm not sure how normal dollar bills in the US looks like but I was digging through my fathers old coin and bill collection and found one bill in perticular which was printed in 1957.
I tried asking the Swedish National bank if they knew what kind of bill it was (they have a huge wall filled with old bills like trophies of forgotten times) but they just wanted to buy the bill off of me since they didn't have this perticular one.
Could you take a look on the images attached and tell me what's up with this bill? (I know the quality is pretty bad on the pictures, if you wish for more details, feel free to ask. Print date 1957-E)
(HUMONGOUS pictures removed, I posted much clearer pics down at the bottom!) Edited by kraluk

Taking a closer look, (I must be blind or something) it's 1935-E, not 57...

 In the column on the left you will find topic listings. If you look under US Paper Money Facts you might find all the information that you want. Basically it is the dollar bill that was in use when our currency was still redeemable for silver. People do collect Silver Certificates but they are not worth very much. It is probably worth something to you because it belonged to your father. |

Yeah, I don't really care that much about the value but after looking in his collection I kind of got interested about this perticular bill since those guys at the bank didn't know much about it. Here we go, much clearer pictures:   |

I took a look in "US Paper Money Facts" and It's a silver certificate bill from 1935 from a place called Richmond?
*googles Richmond*
.. I didn't learn much from that..
They make money in Richmond?

No, the "E for Richmond" in the table refers to Federal Reserve bank codes that appear on Federal reserve notes (Green Seal notes), not series codes. "1935E" is the series number. Which isn't actually the date; series 1935E were actually printed in the early 1950s.

Ok 1935E makes sense...I knew it wasn't 1957E because a 1957 note would have the motto "In God we Trust" Your note lookes like it is Red Book catalague number F-1614, signed by Priest and Humphrey. 5,134,056,000 were printed and catalogue says it is $3 in VF20, $10 in Unc63. |

I hope you found the information you were wanted.
That bill has real value to you because it belonged to your father.
Do you know if your father ever visited the United States?
