Summary
| Description |
English: Image depicts large-size (pre-1928) United States Notes and small size (post-1928) notes, drawn to scale. Letters depict the plate position.[1] A 2019-sized Federal Reserve Note (6.14' x 2.61') is superimposed on the note in the lower left corner, which is about 2.8% smaller than the 1928 note in width/height (though I have no idea if this is due to changes in the inch itself between 1928 and today).
Per the Treasury Department Appropriation Bill of 1929, the Secretary of the Treasury on May 1928 directed a reduction in US paper currency from a 7 7⁄16 inch by 3 9⁄64 inch size to a 6 5⁄16 inch by 2 11⁄16 inch (6.31' x 2.69') size, which allowed the Treasury Department to produce 12 notes per 16 1⁄4 inch by 13 1⁄4 inch sheet of paper that previously would yield 8 notes at the old size.[2] I did not know the exact position on the printing plate, but created this based on descriptions uncut sheets and note sizes as well as plate position letter orders. |
