1957-B was the last series of silver certificates printed in the US. They were actually printed between 1963 and 1965; the "B" indicates they were the third issue in the series that started in 1957 (the first issue doesn't have a letter).

Like all silver certificates, a 1957-B silver certificate represented $1 worth of silver metal on deposit with the US Treasury. The number of silver certificates was limited by the total amount of metal held by the government. Up till 1968 it was possible to redeem a silver certificate for silver metal, but that practice ended when silver was deregulated and its price floated on the open market. At that point silver certificates were treated just like any other $1 bill, and became simply a medium of exchange.
