All U.S. dollar bills have a letter A through L to indicate a Federal Reserve Bank branch where the bill was first issued. K refers to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

What is the value of a 1934 K US 100 dollar bill?

The 1934 series only extends to the letter D. You may be confusing the Federal Reserve Bank letter (K = Dallas) with the series letter; that's next to the date, not in the center of the seal. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 100 dollar bill?" for more information.


What is the value of a 1976 K US 2 dollar bill?

Only one series of 1976 $2 bills was printed, so none of them would have a series letter. A series letter is always next to (below or to the right) of the date. If the "K" is in the Federal Reserve Seal, it's the indicator letter for the Federal Reserve Bank that distributed the bill. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1976 US 2 dollar bill?" for more information.


What is the value of a 1928 K US 1 dollar bill with a red seal?

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. 1928 red-seal $1 bills don't have series letters, and no $1 bills from any year have a "K" series letter.


What is a one dollar bill with a K on the front printed in 1963 all about?

The letter K refers to the Dallas branch of the Federal Reserve. Those letters (A through L) each correspond with a specific bank and district.


What is the value of a 1934 K US 5 dollar bill with a black seal?

Please check your bill again. "D" is the highest series letter for 1934-dated $5 bills, and there are no black-seal bills. The series letter (if any) is next to the date and the seal color is determined by the Treasury Department seal under the large word FIVE. My guess is that you're looking at a Federal Reserve Note distributed by the Dallas district which uses the indicator K. If so, there's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 US 5 dollar Federal Reserve Note?"


Why do dollar bills have different cities on them?

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.


What is a 1963 Kennedy dollar worth Mom always said because it had the K in the circle it was a Kennedy dollar and was worth something. Mom is gone...but her dollar lives on.?

A series of 1963 One Dollar bill with a Federal Reserve Seal that has a "K" in it, means it was distributed by the Federal Reserve band of Dallas TX. It has no connection at all to JFK.MoreThe Dallas district started using the "K" seal in 1914, three years before JFK was even born, and continues to use that code letter to the present day. The coincidence is odd, but it's still nothing but a coincidence.


What is the value of a 1935 K US 1 dollar bill with a blue seal?

H is the highest series letter on 1935 $1 silver certificates. Please check your bill again and post a new question; the series letter if any is next to the date.


What hidden or cool things are on the one dollar bill?

Whether or not there are hidden images on a one dollar bill is up for debate -- some people claim that around the large "1" on the upper right of the bill is a tiny owl or spider, whether it is actually there or just something people "see" like seeing things in the clouds is uncertain. There are many cool things on a dollar bill, such as the Roman Numerals that stand for "1776" and the letter within the circular seal on the face of the bill that stands for the city in which that particular dollar was printed; "K," for example, stands for Dallas.


What is the value of a US 2 dollar bill with A C1 and a K before the serial number?

Serial numbers are counters and a security feature but rarely affect a bill's value or help to ID it. Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its seal color, date, and what letter if any is next to the date. That information is needed to estimate a value.


What does the K number mean on a 2 dollar bill mean for example K23799825A?

The K refers to Federal Reserve District 11, Fort Woth (Texas).


What is the value of a 1928 K five dollar bill?

The US has never printed five dollar bills with this date. Check the date again and post a new question.
