Series 1957 $1 Bills were issued from 1957 through 1963. Unlike coins, the date on US paper money is not changed every year, it is only changed to signify major design changes. Minor design changes are marked by a letter, such as A, B or C, added after the date. 

​

All series 1957 $1 bills were Silver Certificates, meaning that they were once backed by silver and redeemable for silver dollars. Unfortunately, silver certificates have not been redeemable since 1968, but are still legal tender for their face value. 

​

Series 1957 $1 Bills look similar to modern $1 bills, with the most notable difference being the use of blue ink for the seal and serial numbers. The blue seal was used to easily identify the notes as silver certificates, while the green seals on modern $1 bills show that they are Federal Reserve Notes. 

​

About 5.3 Billion $1 Bills were produced with the date 1957, across 3 series: 1957, 1957-A, and 1957-B. This makes the notes fairly common. However, the number remaining in circulation today is much smaller. 

​

Circulated 1957 $1 Bills are worth between $1.50 and $4.00, depending on condition. Notes that are uncirculated are worth considerably more, as are star notes, which can be identified by a star at the beginning of the serial number.
