This term refers to a specific type of United States currency issued as part of the 1935 series of Silver Certificates. The “D” signifies the particular series within that year, denoting changes or modifications made to the printing or design of the note. These certificates were redeemable for silver dollar coins or silver bullion, a promise printed directly on the bill itself.
These notes hold significance for collectors due to their historical context, reflecting a time when currency was directly tied to precious metals. The value of a specific example depends on factors like condition, rarity of the “D” series within the 1935 issuance, and any unique features or errors present. Their production occurred during a pivotal period in American monetary history, offering insights into the government’s financial policies of the era.
