Strangely enough, a small "A" next to the date on a US bill usually means it's the second issue in a particular series. Unlike the dates on coins, dates on US bills don't indicate the year it was issued. Instead, the date indicates when a particular "series" was first started.
Up till 1974, a "series" normally included all bills with a particular design. The first bills in a series had no letter by the date. When a new Secretary of the Treasury or US Treasurer was appointed, an A would be added to the date. If another officer was appointed the letter would change to a B, and so on. The most extreme example was the 1935 series of $1 silver certificates. The same design was used from 1935 to 1965 and the series letters went up to H.
In 1974 the policy was changed so that a new series date would be used whenever a new Secretary of the Treasury takes office, and a letter is added only when a new Treasurer is appointed. Because of that, series letters now rarely go beyond B or C.
