Series mark on bills

[Tabfry]

Ok... maybe a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway...

The series date on a bill doesn't necessarily refer to the date the bill was printed, but rather the date of the most recent change to the bill. ie- treasurer name...

Is this correct?

My last post for the night.

The series date refers to the year in which the design was authorized for use. You will find that the series 2006 $100, $10, $5, and $1 didn't start getting printed until 2007. The $50 and $20 only received their first printing in November and December of 2006 respectively.

The new $5 bills scheduled for release this upcoming month will be dated series 2006.

A change in both signatures would cause a series change, but only one signature change causes a letter to be incremented (e.g. series 2003A)
