The date on a bill is not the year it was printed, it's the so-called "series" under which the bill was issued. Normally when a new Secretary of the Treasury is appointed, a new series is started. When a new Treasurer is appointed, a small letter is appended to the date. Because Henry Paulson was appointed as Treasury Secretary in 2006, bills bearing his signature are thus all dated Series 2006. If a new Treasurer is appointed before the end of the year those bills will read "2006 A". When a new Secretary is named in 2009, those bills will be Series 2009.

Why does a new five dollar bill have series 2006 on it?
They were making them in 2006 but they were not suppose to get out. There are rummers that if you turn them in to the bank you will get more money.
What does series 2006 mean on a fifty dollar bill?
A series date indicates the year some aspect of the bill was updated. Such changes would be a new bill design, or a new Treasury Secretary. In the case of a date with a letter next to it, that means there was a new U.S. Treasurer, but under the same Secretary. The date is NOT indicative of the year the bill was printed, as it is with coins.

How much is the misprinted new 5 dollar bill worth?
There is no such thing as a misprinted new 5 dollar bill. People think this because the year on them is 2006, but didn't come out until 2008. 2006 is the series year based on the start of the Treasury Secretary's term. The serial number indicates of when it was printed. Check it out: www . snopes . com/business/money/newmoney.asp

Is new five dollar bill a misprint if it says issued in 2006 although it came out in 2008?
I checked out the US Treasury's website and found this page where you can view the front and/or back of the new bill. I pulled up the front of the new five dollar bill and zoomed in on the picture. It shows the issue date as 2006. Here's the link... http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/new5 Explanation Bills are dated by what's called their "series" and not by the year they're issued. The series is determined by when the current pairing of Treasury Secretary and Treasurer took office. Because Secretary Paulson was appointed in 2006, that's the series date. When a new Treasurer is appointed the date is kept but a letter is put after the date, e.g. there are 2004-A $10 bills. When a new Secretary takes office, a new series starts.
