NOTABLE ABOUT THIS NOTE
As Secretary of the Treasury, Joseph W. Barr’s signature appears on the notes of this series. In numismatic circles, Barr is perhaps best known for having the shortest tenure of any Treasury Secretary, serving for only the last 28 days of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Administration. Due to this brief time in office, many collectors believed these notes would be scarce, but they are quite common (except for some specific runs of the star notes). Collectors today still refer to these notes as “Barr Notes”.
Despite their signatures appearing together on the notes of this series, Granahan and Barr never served in their roles at the same time. Granahan had resigned before Barr's appointment, leaving the Treasurer’s office officially vacant when Barr became Treasury Secretary.
