Kennedy Notes
Does anyone remember the notes that had several references to President
Kennedy? I believe they were 1963 notes with a K on them. If anyone can post some info on these, I would be most grateful. |

Like the 9-11 notes "book" being offered on ebaY, they're just a figment of someone's imagination applied to already existing notes. K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. There are 12 Federal Reserve Districts, matching A-L with 1-12. A common series of dollar note is 1963. The district number appears at all four quadrants of the note face. Dallas is the 11th district. These are all facts you can verify by pulling any regular $1 note out of your wallet, except for the series date. Some wag took these facts and wove them into the following pack of lies: These were commemorative notes K is for Kennedy Dallas TX is where he was shot. The date was Nov (11th month) 22nd, 1963. The first 11 was the month, the top two 11s add up to 22. He was 44 years old, thus all four 11s. The series was for the year. There may be some additional bullship, I forget. Since the notes had been in production for months before Kennedy was shot, and they follow the exact same district and dating rules that had been around since 1928, it's rather doubtful that someone planned this "commemorative" of his death when JFK was still in grade school. -- "The starting pay for a pilot at American Eagle is $16,800 a year.

Thanks, that't the info I was looking for. If anyone else knows any more
tidbits about these notes, I would appreciate your input. One other question, were any of these particular notes signed by Joseph Barr? "Fred A.

Series 1963B $1 notes were signed by Barr, but he didn't become Secratary of the Treasury until the last month of Johnson's second term. Hope this helps, Scott |

One other question, were any of these particular notes signed by Joseph Barr? No. The 1963B series notes were only made at district B E G J and L. The Barr notes are another mythic item. Supposedly rare because he was only in office around a month, they actually made a half billion of them over a six month period, IIRC. About as rare as common date wheat cents. -- "The starting pay for a pilot at American Eagle is $16,800 a year. Never let someone fly you up in the air who's making less than the kid at Taco Bell."

From: Greg Sievers
I understand that Joseph Barr was only in office a month ... What was the previous Secretary of the Treasury's name? Henry Fowler Did Connally sign any of the 1963 series notes? No. 8-/ Coin Saver |
