General Question about US currency

Does the treasury use older plates even though new ones exist. For example,
did they print Silver certificates with the 1935 dates plate after the 1957
plates were introduced? If so, is there any true way to gauge the age of a
note?

thanks

1935/1957 was a special case. The 1935 notes are from the 18 notes per
plate process and the 1957 notes are 32 notes per plate.

As I understand it, both processes were run in parallel as the new
machines were brought on line. So yes, some 1935 notes were printed
concurrently with 1957 notes.

About the only way to tell the true age of a note is to determine when
it was printed. Some of this information has been collated from BEP
reports.

Take a look at the following site for more information:
