1 Dollar
United States Of America · Federal Reserve System (issued by the Federal Reserve Banks; printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, U.S. Department of the Treasury)
Series 2021 $1 Federal Reserve Notes began production at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in late 2022 and entered circulation in 2023. The design is unchanged from the 1963 introduction: George Washington on the obverse and the Great Seal of the United States on the reverse. The series designation changed from 2017A to 2021 solely due to the new signature combination of Janet Yellen (Treasury Secretary) and Lynn Malerba (Treasurer of the United States) — the first time two women's signatures have appeared on U.S. currency. The $1 note does not carry the advanced security features present on higher denominations.
