Editing Federal Reserve Note (section)

==Series==
Notes issued prior to 1928 were {{convert|7+7/16|x|3+9/64|in|cm}}. Per the Treasury Department Appropriation Bill of 1929, notes issued after 1928 were to be {{convert|6+5/16|x|2+11/16|in|cm}}, which allowed the Treasury Department to produce 12 notes per {{convert|16+1/4|x|13+1/4|in|cm|adj=on}} sheet of paper that previously would yield 8 notes at the old size.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qqQuAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA105 |title=Treasury Department Appropriation Bill, 1929 |publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office |year=1928 |publication-date=1928 |page=105}}</ref>

Modern measurements of these large size notes reveal an average dimension of {{convert|7+3/8|x|3+1/8|in|cm}}. Small size notes (described as such due to their size relative to the earlier large-size notes) are an average {{convert|6+1/8|x|2+5/8|in|cm}}, the size of modern U.S. currency. Each measurement is ± {{convert|0.08|in|mm}} to account for margins and cutting. (Note: differences in size may also involve in historical changes in the definition of the [[inch]].)

===Large size notes===
Series 1914 FRN were the first of two large-size issues. Denominations were $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 printed first with a red seal and then continued with a blue seal.<ref>Friedberg & Friedberg, 2013, p. 148.</ref> Series 1918 notes were issued in $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 denominations. The latter two denominations exist only in institutional collections.<ref>Friedberg & Friedberg, 2013, pp. 157–59.</ref> Series 1914 and 1918 notes in the following two tables are from the [[National Numismatic Collection]] at the [[National Museum of American History]] ([[Smithsonian Institution]]).

===Series 2004–present (color notes)===

The new $20&nbsp;bill was first issued on October 9, 2003; the new $50 on September 28, 2004; the new $10&nbsp;bill on March 2, 2006; the new $5&nbsp;bill on March 13, 2008; the new $100&nbsp;bill on October 8, 2013. The one and two dollar bills still remain small portrait, unchanged, and not watermarked.
