This is probably an easy explanation, but I've spent the last hour trying to figure it out without success. Obviously WW2 specic notes were printed well after 1934. I collect US coins by date. I have 13 of the 14 (still looking for a white 34 D quarter MS 65 or 66) for 1934. I thought it would be great to add some 1934 currency to that set. Any advise appreciated. |

Depending on the series designation, notes bearing the date 1934 were issued from that year until 1950, with the designation Series 1934-plain, A, B, C and so forth, as well as the signature combination, governing the exact span of production. A Series 1934-plain $50 bill might have been printed in 1934 but possibly as late as 1945! (Simplified explanation).

Thanks guys. And big old WOW MeadowViewCollector for that valuable information. I'd love to get one of each denomination, up to $100. I'm thinking it will be awfully snazzy with my #1 place NGC year set (even without that quarter). ...ahh...something more to hunt for  |

That was very helpful, thanks MV. I had never seen any info on the issue date for the Series '34-A fifties and this seems to confirm that it is apparently unknown.

mox - If you're indifferent to the issuing district, then you might want to consider TPG graded 65 star notes for each of the denominations. A large number of the regular issues in 65 for this common series are not unusual or special in 65. |

Thanks, Frog. I'd done a bit of snooping on prices in the last few days, and they were easy to find and reasonably priced. Since 1934 was such a beast for coins, I thought paper might be the same, but was pleasantly surprised otherwise. I hadn't considered star notes, and I'll take a look at those, too. I really don't care where they were issued but I am more concerned about when they were printed. If haven't explored the information provided to be certain of that. I've avoided buying anything but US coins - not ancients, not post 64, not bullion ( ASE AREN"T BULLION  -not world, not nuthin but US. If I explore currency, other than what I had that I'd never sold, I hope that doesn't become a trend. But seeing as most of my year sets are pre-1900, I'm guessing blankets from those earlier years would steal way to much of my money from my type sets. Again - thanks for comments. I appreciate your expertise. |

Up until 1990, all US paper money was printed in Washington DC. After that the printing is split between Washington DC and the Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth Texas. |

mox - I know exactly where you're coming from. Paper money got a grip on me about 15 years ago and I ended up selling most of my coins to indulge in it. The appeal of blankets, especially nationals and 19th c regular issues, is mesmerizing and an expensive addiction.  |

Frog - the real problem I see is that you can sleep with your coins, but not with your currency  |
