Historical Context: Uncut Currency Sheets and the 1985 Series

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing began selling uncut currency sheets to the public in 1981, following a resumption of the practice after a hiatus. These sheets have become a popular collectible, offering a unique glimpse into the production process of United States paper money, as they show how bills look before they are cut into individual notes.

The Series 1985 One Dollar Federal Reserve Notes feature the portrait of George Washington, a design element that has been a mainstay on the One Dollar bill since 1929. The notes bear the signatures of Katherine Ortega, who served as Treasurer of the United States, and James Baker III, who served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan. The green seal and serial numbers are characteristic of modern Federal Reserve Notes.
