Best Answer

Small sized bills were first printed in 1928 and the Ink was changed from blue to green ink in 1963.

MoreFrom 1928 to 1957, all US $1 bills were issued as silver certificates backed by $1 in silver on deposit with the Treasury. Silver certificates were normally identified by having blue serial numbers and seals.

When the price of silver was deregulated in the 1960s and the Treasury sold off its silver stocks, silver certificates could no longer be redeemed for a fixed amount of metal. In 1963 $1 bills began to be printed as Federal Reserve Notes, like other denominations; these are identified by green ink. Production of silver certificates ended in the mid-1960s although all were dated 1957.

How much is a pay to the bearer on demand 100 us dollar bill worth?

More than a modern $100 dollar bill. The money being printed currently has no value other than what the Federal Reserve says it has.
