Historical Context: The 2021 Series One Dollar Note

The Series 2021 One Dollar Federal Reserve Note represents a milestone in United States currency history. For the first time, the signatures of two women, Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen and United States Treasurer Lynn Malerba, appear on the face of the bill. Janet Yellen is the first woman to serve as the United States Secretary of the Treasury, while Chief Lynn Malerba is the first Native American to serve as the United States Treasurer. The obverse features the familiar portrait of George Washington, while the reverse displays an engraving of the Great Seal of the United States.

Understanding the Federal Reserve District Designation

The D in the serial number identifies the Federal Reserve Bank that issued this note. In the Federal Reserve System, each of the twelve regional banks is designated by a letter. The letter D corresponds to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Ohio. The Cleveland district is one of the twelve regional banks that issue Federal Reserve Notes.

What is a Bookend Serial Number?

A bookend serial number is a type of fancy serial number that contains the same two or three digits at the beginning and at the end. Your serial number, 33971339, has the first two digits, 33, matching the last two digits, 33, forming a classic bookend pattern. While bookend serial numbers are not particularly rare, they are interesting to collectors and can command a modest premium, especially for notes with additional desirable characteristics such as repeating digits or lucky numbers.
