Gnatz112233 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/11/2016 8:41 pm I have a 1963a $50 bill. From my understanding these didn't have security features as of yet? My bank atm keeps spitting it out and I'm not sure if it's due to it being fake or too old? And since my atm is spitting it out I'm scared to take it anywhere and trying to cash it. lol. The only thing I can see are the little fibers throughout but I've heard those were easily faked? I can't remember the last time or if ever I've seen a bill without any kind of security features. Any help or other info needed just let me know. Report this Post to the Staff

If you really wanted to deposit the note why didn't you just walk inside the bank.. But no doubt, nothing fake about the note. Edited by PaperChaser 05/11/2016 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Security features weren't introduced until Series 1990 (the security strip and microprinting around the portrait). Series 1996 was the first of the noncolored large-portrait notes that had the watermark. The ATM was probably not accepting it due to its lack of a security strip.

You just don't see too many small heads in circulation any more. I love the back vignette of the Capital Building on this series. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/12/2016 5:09 pm Absolutely genuine. It's ironic that the one major security feature used on large-size notes (the linen fiber threads) was not used after the change to small-size notes in 1928. Report this Post to the Staff
