“United States Note, The United States of America, This Note Is A Legal Tender For All Debts Public And Private, Five Dollars”

All 1963 red seal five dollar bills were printed in Washington DC.  These bills were signed by Kathryn O’Hay Granahan as The Treasurer of The United States and by C. Douglas Dillon as the Treasurer of The United States.
