Why do dollar bills have different cities on them?

Best Answer

One-dollar and two-dollar bills have city names around the Federal Reserve seal on the left-hand side of the bill. The letter in Federal Reserve Seal is a reference to the city where the Federal Reserve Bank that distributed them is located. For example, C means it was distributed by the Philadelphia bank, K means Dallas, etc.

Higher-denomination bills use a "generic" Federal Reserve seal; the corresponding letter appears as part of the bill's serial number instead.

Many people believe that bills are actually printed in each district, but in fact they're all printed at plants operated by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington and Fort Worth. When a district bank determines more bills are needed, they're printed for the requesting district with the appropriate seals and/or letters, then shipped to the district for distribution.
