Available from 1915 to 1934, the Federal Reserve Bank Note was one of the shortest-lived forms of paper money issued in the United States. The notes were issued in three series: 1915, 1918, and 1929. That final release in 1929 introduced the small-sized format, with the previous two being the historic large-sized format.

Other branches include the Richmond, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas, and San Francisco banks.

Reverse

On the reverse is the image of a dreadnaught battleship from the New York Class of the United States Navy. Introduced in 1911, the New York Class eventually consisted of only two vessels, the USS New York and the USS Texas.

History

Federal Reserve Bank Notes in the 1918 Series included $1, $2, and $50 denominations. These were issued in 1918 in response to the Pittman Act and the temporary suspension of US Silver Certificates as a result of the act.
