This paper currency represents a specific type of United States legal tender issued in 1934 bearing the “D” designation. This note is a five-dollar denomination and signifies a promise by the U.S. Treasury to pay the bearer five dollars in silver coin. The D signifies that the bill was printed at the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas.
These certificates hold value for collectors due to their historical significance, limited printing numbers depending on the specific series and condition, and the fact that they are no longer in production. The 1934 series, in particular, represents a period of economic recovery following the Great Depression, adding to its collectibility. The specific Federal Reserve district indicated by the letter “D” can influence the rarity and value of the bill.
