The series date is right next to Jefferson's portrait, similar to the place where the date is on a $1 bill. However the series date doesn't say exactly when the bill was printed, just when that particular design began. To get a better idea of the date you need to look at the series letter next to the date and names of the Treasury Secretary and Treasurer, then match them up with the years they both served in their posts. That will pin the bill's issuance to a particular administration. Beyond that, getting an exact date becomes pretty esoteric. You have to start looking at tables of serial numbers and other indicators printed on the bill. Most collectors usually are interested only in the date and series letter.
