Coinjoe2006 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 My mom recently gave me a $1 with the last two digits in the serial number 88, because it was the year I was born. The actual serial number is F F70701788 F. I also have the one before it, F 70701787 F. I thought nothing of this really, other than a keep sake, until I looked at the date. It said Series 2003 A. I had to do a double take because I had never seen a 2003 A series dollar before. I have seen tons of 2003, but never a Series A. Whats the difference between a regular 2003, and a 2003 A?

Scottishmoney Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Look at the signatures on the note, the 2003 A is different from the 2003 because of the signatures on the note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinjoe2006 Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Look at the signatures on the note, the 2003 A is different from the 2003 because of the signatures on the note. I noticed that too. Is the 2003 worth more than the 2003 A or vice versa? Or are they both just worth a buck? I just thought that it was intresting because these two $1 bills were the only two that I have ever seen that were 2003 Series A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 They are both worth $1. The letter is added to the series when the Treasurer changed. If the Treasury Secretary changed I think it would require a whole new series like 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinjoe2006 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Lol, I guess they are just getting to where I'm at. Because they were the first that I noticed, and I got 2 more today. But I have only gotten them in $1 bills, havent seen a $5, $10 or $20 Series A yet.

jtryka Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I believe you will eventually see 2003 A $5 notes, but the $20 would be 2004A since there was no series 2003 in $20 notes. For the $10, since there is a complete redesign for next year it will probably be series 2006. Those are purely my educated guesses, so if anyone has researched it with the BEP, please chime in!

jtryka Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I stand corrected! I just read in Coin World that the new $10 will be series 2004A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
