The
note has a low serial number, adding to its collectible value, and is a great
addition to any collection of paper money from around the world. All 1929
one-hundred-dollar bills from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City will have
a serial number that starts with the letter J. Each $100 bill will have
four black “J”s stamped on it. This J signifies that the note is from the
Kansas City district. Though dated 1929, these amazing $100 Federal Reserve Notes or Brown Seals were
issued at the height of the depression in 1933. The release of these notes
coincided with FDRs Executive Order No. 6102 signed on April 5, 1933,
"forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates
within the continental United States". These 1929 Federal Reserve Notes
were not exchangeable for gold or silver. Here’s your opportunity to own a
piece of US history - Depression Era Currency. Besides being unique emergency currency, these were the first small-sized
Federal Reserve National Bank Notes ever issued. These Depression-era currency
were printed using the existing stock of National Bank Note blanks from the
Series of 1929. They were overprinted by a single logotype plate for each of
the 12 Federal Reserve Banks – Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond,
Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Dallas and San
Francisco. Federal Reserve Bank Notes differ from Federal Reserve Notes in that
they are backed by one of these 12 Federal Reserve Banks rather than by all
national banks collectively. Add this piece of history to your collection
