It's a federal reserve note. As the US population grew in the 1930's, the need for currency exceeded the amount of silver available to back silver certificates. So the government just printed money using the "good faith" of the US Govt to back it instead of silver.

It's a nice note but has some wear and dirt on it. I had a 1934 series C-note. I thought it might be worth something so I took it to a coin shop. The guy told me I may as well spend it because if I was lucky I could get $5-10 over face for it.

He wasn't interested lol

hey can anyone tell me if this bill is off-printed (on the front)?? the top and left side is thicker and the bottom and right side is thinner. more photos can be supplied if needed. the back has uniform thickness

In that condition, unless a currency collector was in desperate need to fill a space, it is unlikely to sell. RickO
