It depends on what you mean by "odd". Among modern paper money first introduced in 1928, the only unusual bills were in the 1935-A series.

Some of these were printed using experimental presses and have extra letters R or S on the front in blue or red ink.

During WWII, special 1935-A $1 bills were printed with brown ink for use in Hawaii, and yellow ink for use in North Africa. The unusual colors were used so that the bills could be easily identified and declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.

How much is a 3 dollar bill worth?

There is no such thing as a modern $3 bill. There were some odd-denomination bills issued by private banks in the 19th century but you would have to specify which bank and what date to have any idea of its value. If it's in decent condition, any of the bank-issued $3 notes (or any other denomination for that matter) will be fairly valuable.


Why did the Treasury make a 1957 series of US 1 dollar silver certificates?

Up till 1974 the standard practice was to change series dates only when a bill underwent a major redesign. Thus it's seemingly odd that 1957 $1 bills carry essentially the same design as bills from the 1935 series. The reason happened behind the scenes: Rather than being printed one at a time, all US bills are printed in groups on large sheets of paper before being cut into individual bills. Until 1957 the presses used by Bureau of Engraving and Printing could only hold sheets large enough for a group of 18 bills. That year the BEP started phasing in new, more-efficient presses that could produce 32 bills at a time. To keep production runs distinct during the transition period, the 1957 series was used for all $1 bills printed on the new presses while bills produced on the old presses continued to carry a 1935 series date. That unusual situation, which saw simultaneous production of series dated 22 years apart, continued until 1963.


What does the A in a 1934 A US 10 dollar bill mean?

The letter next to the date on any US bill is called the series letter. It indicates how many major changes have been made to some aspect of the bill since the series started. It indicates which pairing of Treasury Secretary and US Treasurer were in office when that particular run of bills was first printed. The "A" on a 1934 $10 bill means it was printed during the run begun when Henry Morgenthau was Treasury Secretary and William A. Julian was Treasurer; i.e. somewhere in the period between January 1934 and July 1945 So if it could have been printed in 1945, why does the bill have a 1934 date on it? Unlike dates on coins, the dates on US bills aren't necessarily the year they were printed. They indicate the start of what's called a "series". The letter is a kind of subseries within the series year. Up till 1974, a series date represented the year that a particular design was adopted. The series date stayed the same until that particular design was replaced. When a new Treasury Secretary or US Treasurer was appointed, a small letter would be put next to the date. The start of the series had no letter. When a new official was appointed an A would be added, then a B, C, and so on. "A" is the first letter which means your bill was printed as part of the second subseries, because the first one didn't have a letter. While most denominations were redesigned somewhat regularly and thus got new series dates, 1935-series $1 bills were never updated. The date was kept the same while the series letter just kept incrementing with every signature change, for some 30-odd years. The absurd situation of 1935-dated bills being printed into the 1960s led to new policy in 1974. Since then, the series date is changed whenever a new Treasury Secretary is appointed, in addition to whenever there's a new design. The series letter now increments only when or if a new Treasurer is appointed during that series year.


What 1950 us 10 dollar bill has no series?

Actually, it does have a series - 1950, or sometimes "1950 plain". Series dates and letters on US bills are peculiar. The date doesn't indicate when the bill was printed, but instead indicates when that particular printing run was started, hence the term "series date" instead of "printing date". To complicate things more, the first set of bills for a given series date has no letter. A letter is added only when there is a more minor change that doesn't warrant a full new series. That is, the letter "A" refers to the second set within that date, "B" is the third, and so on. If that isn't confusing enough, the criteria that determine when a new series starts have changed over the years. For many decades series dates would be changed only when a bill was redesigned. The series letter would be incremented if either a new Secretary of the Treasury or new U.S. Treasurer was appointed. That practice led to the odd situation of 1935-series $1 bills being printed as late as 1965, with series letters extending up to H. In 1974 the Treasury decided that a new series date would be used if a new Secretary of the Treasury was appointed or there was a substantial design change. The series letter would be changed only if a new Treasurer took office. As a result, series dates now change much more often and series letters rarely go beyond B. Of course, even this policy has its exceptions. For example, the current gray and purple $5 design was introduced without a corresponding date change.
