The origin of paper money
Dollar notes are made of cotton fibers and hemp. Long cotton fiber makes paper not easy to break, good ink absorption and not easy to fade. Hemp fiber is tough, which makes the paper stiff for a long time and has certain resistance to water, oil and some chemicals. One-dollar paper is white without whitening agent and does not reflect light under purple light. Since 1880, there have been red and blue fibers in the paper of dollar bills, which are mixed with pulp when making paper. So some fibers are sandwiched in the paper and some float on the surface, and the fibers can be picked out with the needle tip. Before 1928, red and blue fibers were distributed in the middle of banknotes, and they were long and narrow up and down. 1928 and later versions, full-page transmission of fiber silk. Starting from 1990, a safety thread made of polyester polymer called Myra was added to the dollar paper (as shown in the left). The security line has dollar symbols and denomination figures, which can be seen clearly through perspective. The ink on the front of the dollar is black, slightly dark and slightly gray, and the back is green. In the version after 1934, magnetic substances were added to the ink, and the magnetic real US dollar bills were specially made with special inks such as fluorescent ink and magnetic ink. Therefore, the green emblem and green numbers on the right side of the front of the US dollar bill can leave "green marks" on the paper after hard wiping. Some US dollars issued after 1996 will show black and green at different light angles. The main pattern of the dollar is engraved intaglio printing, and the library printing and serial number are embossed printing. After version 1990, there are micro characters around the portrait window below.

The treasury seal is printed on the bottom of the US dollar bill, and the treasury seal of the Federal Reserve Certificate is printed on the right. Other coupons will be printed in the library, with 1928 on the left and 1934 on the right.
The early library seal was round, with 40 teeth on the periphery, and the thickness and size of each tooth were uniform. There is a Latin word "THESAUR AMER SEPTENT SIGIL" in a circle, and the center of the circle is a shield. The shield is divided into upper and lower parts by an inverted V. The upper part is a balance with 32 dots around it. There are 13 five-pointed stars in the inverted V, and the lower part is a key. Since the 1969 edition, the library seal has been further simplified, and the text has been changed to English "The Department of the Treasury, 1789" (Ministry of Finance, 1789), and the outer pattern of the shield has been cancelled, with 22 points in the upper part and 17 points in the lower part, * * 39. 1928 and 1934 are large library prints with a diameter of 20mm, and 1935 and later versions are changed to small library prints with a diameter of 16mm, and the patterns and characters remain unchanged. The library is printed with five colors: green, blue, yellow, red and brown, which vary according to the types of coupons. Above Kuyin is the place name of the capital "Washington, DC".

1963 and later versions, 32 banknotes were printed on a large piece of paper, but only 26 letters were enough. Therefore, a large piece of paper is divided into four quartiles, and eight check letters (A-H) are used to indicate that each banknote is in an open position. The quarto number is 1-4, which is called quarto number. It is printed in small print in the upper left corner and lower right corner of the check letter. For example, C2 indicates that the bill is in the second and third position when printing.
version number
A small number is printed on the right side of the check letter in the lower right corner of the front of the US dollar bill, or under the check letter. This is the previous version number. The number in the lower right corner of the back, or the number in the middle right, is the post version number.
Consists of one or two initials plus eight numbers and a tail letter. According to the law, each number can only appear once, so the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States sometimes prints dollars with the ending of the serial number changed to an asterisk (called Start Nots) to make up for the temporary shortage of money. There is no difference between dollar bills marked with stars and other similar dollar bills. brief introduction
There are six denominations of coins in circulation in the United States: 1, 5, 10, 25, half a dollar, 1 yuan. In American history, the heads of six famous presidents appeared on these six denominations respectively. The design of 1 cent is a profile portrait of the famous President Lincoln in American history, which was released on the occasion of Lincoln's birthday100th anniversary (1909). The design of 5 cents is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Jefferson 1938, the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. 10 cent was released on the first anniversary of the death of President Roosevelt, who implemented the "Roosevelt New Deal" (1946); Twenty-five cents is the most common token in the United States, which was issued on the bicentennial of the birth of the founding president of the United States (1932). It is worth mentioning that the front of it is a unified presidential statue, while the back is engraved with the most distinctive things in the state except the 25 cents issued by the US federal government. For example, the Statue of Liberty is behind the new york coin; Half-dollar coins were originally the Statue of Liberty in America. At present, the head of Kennedy, the youngest president in American history, is very common. 1963 Kennedy was unfortunately assassinated. In order to commemorate him, the United States changed Kennedy's head from 1964 to a half-dollar pattern. 1 dollar coin has two patterns. One is the portrait of President Eisenhower released by 197 1. Because the external diameter of this coin is too large (the diameter is 38. 1mm, commonly known as "big dollar 1 yuan"), it is very inconvenient to circulate and use, so 19865438+ is adopted. 1 999165438+1October 18 and gold dollar1yuan coin (nicknamed Jinyuan) were first issued in Philadelphia Mint. In the picture, an Indian woman, sacagawea, holds her youngest son, batiste.
