Since 1928 the date on a $1 bill has been at the lower-right section of Washington's portrait. Up till 1957 it was at roughly the 4:00 position. Since 1963 it's been at the 5:00 position.

However, the date on all US bills is what's called a series date and is NOT the date that the bill was actually printed. Unlike coins, which display the year they were minted, the date on a bill is only changed when either a new design is adopted or a new Secretary of the Treasury is appointed. The same series date can appear for many years if neither changes. To make things even more complicated, the Treasury will sometimes continue printing a particular series long after a Secretary has left office which further decouples the series date from the printing date.

Sometimes it's possible to narrow down the printing date by getting documentation from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing that sets out when bills with particular ranges of serial numbers were printed. Also, if a new US Treasurer is appointed during the term of a single Treasury Secretary, a small letter is added after the series date. The presence or absence of a letter and the Treasurer's term in office can also help refine the printing date, but again that not always the case.

What is the date on the dollar bill about?

The date on a U.S. dollar bill typically refers to the year the bill was printed, which is known as the "series year." This date indicates when the design was first adopted or when significant changes were made to the bill. It's important to note that this date does not reflect the actual year the bill was issued or circulated, as bills can remain in circulation for many years after their printing.
