1973 $1 Birth Year Note

This note is called a "Birth Year" note because the serial number is a year that is often used to represent the year someone was born. In this case, anyone born in the year 1979 should find this note appealing, especially if their initials are A.P.

There are other varities of birth year notes, called birthday notes. These notes have serial numbers that can be construed as representing the full day, month and year someone was born. See the Special Numbers section for notes of this type.
