The exact date a US bill was printed can only be determined by comparing a bill's serial number with those on the list at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. However, the range of years in which a bill might have been printed can be estimated by the year and series letter (or symbol) printed on each bill.

For example, a $1 Silver Certificate bearing the series 1957 would have been printed between 1957 and 1960. A star after the serial number indicates the notes were printed to replace a series of bills that were unusable for some reason. Changes in letters of series indicate a change in the Secretary of the Treasury or US Treasurer whose signatures appear on each bill. Bills dated 1957A would have been printed between 1961 and 1962 (Treasurer Elizabeth Smith), and bills dated 1957B would have been printed in 1963 (Treasurer Kathryn Granahan). These were the last one dollar silver certificates.

Since 1974, the series date is changed to reflect a change in Secretary of Treasury, and the series letter to indicate a change in the US Treasurer.

How do you tell the age of a dollar bill?

The closest you can come to telling the actual age of any US bill is by looking at the Series date on the front. This isn't the actual year the bill was printed, but rather what year the full plate was approved. A series year typically changes only when a major design change is implemented, such as the recent redesigns of the $5-$100 bills, or when the Treasurer's name changes; a new Secretary of the Treasury only rates a letter appended to the series year. Thus a Series 1999 dollar bill may have been printed in 2001.
