NOTABLE ABOUT THIS NOTE

This was the last large size $1 Silver Certificate issued.

The 1923 series marked the end of the large size currency era in the United States. In 1928, all U.S. banknotes were redesigned and reduced to the smaller, modern size still used today.

As Register of the Treasury, the signature of Walter O. Woods appears on this note. He would later serve as Treasurer of the United States, making him the first and only person to serve as both Register and Treasurer.


SIGNS OF THE TIME

Walter O. Woods was the 17th Register of the Treasury, serving from October 1, 1927 to January 17, 1929. He was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge.

Harold T. Tate was the 26th Treasurer of the United States, serving from May 31, 1928 to January 17, 1929. He was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge.
