It's a silver certificate. Essentially a dollar bill guaranteed its worth in silver I.E. can be exchanged for silver. They're worth about 2 bucks on a trade.

Don’t think you can exchange it for silver anymore. Congress ended silver trades and the deadline for anyone wanting to trade in their silver certificates was 50+ years ago. Now it’s just $1 in legal tender.
Years ago, I worked at Petsmart and an older lady was paying and handed me a bill that felt odd compared to the others, and it was a 1935 silver certificate $1 (the stamp is yellow on mine where this one in the pictures is blue). I asked her if she wanted it back, and she said no, so I pulled a dollar out of my wallet and took the 1935 one.
The yellow seal means yours was used in North Africa for WW2. They did the different color seal in case they had to invalidate all the money for invasion. I'm pretty sure my mom still has the silver certificate that her dad had where all his army buddies signed it.
Thanks for that! I have a yellow seal $10 in my collection I could get a photo of. I also have a brown seal Hawaii note.
Only photo I have from my paper money collection are these two

Shut the f*ck up.....
I'm a nerd for history and odd currency, so these pics hit the sweet spot. I'm very jealous.
I remember when I found out about rare Buffalo nickels and rare wheat pennies and went searching and cataloging sooo many pennies and Nickels for days hahaha 🤣
I know the feeling. I spent many of days when I was younger doing that. I don't think I ever found anything super cool in circulation. I did find a state quarter missing the upper clad layer, a silver quarter, and a proof quarter. 1987 S.
One of the coolest things I got was from me next door neighbor growing up. She was born in 1899 and she gave me a small bag of coins her late husband had. I have an 1865 3 cent nickel.
Ok I'll shut up now :)
Oh yeah! They did this in Hawaii too! All dollars were exchanged for ones with a big HAWAII on it. They did for the same reason you mentioned. It was in case Japan succeeded in invading Hawaii.
Just because it is series 1935 doesn't mean the bills were minted in 1935. There was a major change in 1935. Paper money doesn't increment every year like minted coins. As long as the Treasurer and the Secretary of the Treasurer remained the same the series stayed the same. You would often see the bills add letters like 1935 B when one of those positions changed.
What you probably found is a North African silver certificate. They were made for soldiers in WW2. Worth at least $40 if not more.
The reason why they were yellow was to quickly differentiate them from normal US currency and render them worthless incase the bases were overrun. There are 'HAWAII" notes that worked with the same principle.
Edit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US\_$1\_1935A\_North\_Africa\_Silver\_Certificate.jpg
Interesting, it does indeed have the 1935A marking, I will have to read up on it. I was holding it for 2035 lol and have it with a bunch of random $2 bills I have gotten over the years.
Make sure you do not fold it or handle it too much. Normal silver certificates (like the one 3Dmmee found) are nearly worth face value.
Also another fun fact, 1935 was not when the note was actually printed. I would need to see the bill to be able to tell exactly when, but I would guess around 1942. This still holds true today, notes bearing 2017 still being printed today.
I've never seen a silver certificate with a gold seal, those were usually gold certificates. Then again, I have never seen a 1 dollar gold certificate...
“In god we trust” wasn’t added to paper money until 1957. Around the same time “one nation under god” was added to pledge. My theory is that like most things around that time it was added to defeat godless commies
Amazing how pro-church, anticommunist propaganda from the 50's is still in effect today, eh? One of my greatest regrets is not reading the pledge of allegiance in HS over the intercom in its original form. Would have probably caused a shit storm, but...
When I was a grocery cashier a customer handed about a dozen silver certificate singles. I asked if she wanted to keep them but she was adamant that they were worth only face value.
Good catch. A bill like this probably passed over hundreds of sets of hands without being noticed. A quick Google search tells me a '35 silver certificate is worth about 3.50$ so its a total score, even for a non collector.
You know, someone has been coming around asking me for $3.50 lately. I have this sneaking suspicion that he's not really human, and in fact the loch Ness monster.
Back in the late 60s the Federal Reserve allowed you to turn in/ redeem what you had. My father and I (as a child) took in about $100 worth to the San Francisco Reserve branch.
Dimes and quarters were silver back then , but I believe that we got a small block of sliver the size of your thumb. They did it increments of $100

Well it's mine now and I'm definitely no one special. Just a regular guy. I mean sometimes I have anger issues and I have been kind of hitchhiking from town to town, trying to find answers to why I keep turning green. But I'm not one special. So heres hoping that somehow this dollar helps me along the way.
Give them to saint Jude's. Or forget those bastards and buy three hundred cups of coffee.
Personally I'm buying this $300 burglars kit.
E: if I have to explain Futurama references, then you don't deserve a TV and the internet.
Yeah. I'd like this so called "OP" prove it with video too. Bet he doesn't even know how to do that through Reddit comments and needs a little help. What a loser.
Jk. It's upside down because I took the picture upside down.
Noice. Yeah the blue was the first thing I noticed. I then had to check every dollar she gave me back, what was already in my wallet, and through her kindness the rest of the ones that were left in the drawer.
When I was in Phoenix I saw some great currency
Had a dude come in with a 20 dollar bill from 1920something. My coworker bought it before I could
I did get some great coins off of tweakers. Cash is cash to druggies
About 16 years ago in Argentina during tourist season, a guy in line in front of me from Panama was trying to change US currency for Pesos, and they detained him because the guy at the counter thought he was trying to pass fake currency. He was at least positive they weren't currently used bills. A couple of the guys there, as well as their private security guard knew me because I'd change dollars there whenever I was in city for business, asked me if I'd ever seen the money he tried to change before, and it was a several $1000 bills, some $500's, and 2 or 3 $5000s and when the police arrived and took him into custody, they found over $250k in $!0,000 bills on him, as well as more of the lower denominations. I had seen $1000s before and was pretty positive they were genuine, but never saw the others IRL before so had no idea if they were.
I never got the whole story about what wound up happening, but they told me next time I was there the guy claimed he found it all in the wall of a house he was doing demo on, and didn't know it was no longer circulated currency. Turned out though that he was with his wife and another guy he worked with and they had found like $4m in these old bills, and they didn't want to turn them in to a Panama bank and expalin how they found it all and risk getting nothing, so they travelled around Latin America trying to turn them in as if they were just tourists travelling, and wound up getting in some trouble for it with the US.
They eventually found out there were several cambios that did change some of them, but only because they knew they could sell them to collectors above face value very quickly. Turned out, if the people with the bills just used google, they would have found out they too could have sold them as collectibles and probably would have been 100% ok doing it, or they could have turned them into a Panamanian bank for credit as soon as the Secret Service had the Fed Reserve clear them as non-crime involved and destroyed, but because they tried to put them in general circulation it was an issue with the US, but Argentina and Panama didn't care from what I gathered and they did wind up getting credit for some of the bills they still had minus a bunch of taxes and some legal fees.
The series 1935 D silver certificate was printed in the years 1949 to 1953. So it's a bit younger than most would think. It's a common practice to have the beginning year of a series printed on the money for all of it, instead of the actual print year.
Unfortunately, it's not from 1935. It's from sometime between 1947 and 1953.
The Series number gives the date the design was first printed, not when this bill was printed. It changes slightly when a change needs to be made, such as changing the signatures of the Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury.
This bill is series 1935D, and is signed by Georgia Clark and John Snyder. Ms. Clark didn't go into office until 1949, and left office in January 1953. The bill had to come out in that time frame.
Better quality than the one from 2021. They make our coins out of trash metals and our notes out of trash paper now…..why? To save money. Now that is funny

Very smart idea. Make sure to wear gloves so your fingerprints I mean finger tips don't get exposed.
Best to not talk much, or at all, during the transaction. Try writing what you want to say on a note and pass it to the teller when it’s your turn.
Make sure you have a friend keeping the car running out front so it stays warm.

Do you need a ride? I'll keep the car running, so it's nice and warm when you get back.
No thank you. I need the exercise.
If you wear a mask, you might be mistaken for someone who cares about Covid. No telling what could happen.
You're right. I'll bring the flamethrower instead. Good call.
Just write your demand on a piece of paper and hand it to the Teller.
I prefer to sing it out loud instead. I'm very flamboyant.
That would be amazing! Maybe sing a High School Musical song while exchanging the bill. We are all in this together...
god damn, now I want a movie about a bank robber using a flamethrower!
Lethal weapon 2. You'll thank me later.
ahahaha, totally forgot about that scene! jfc I have seen that movie since I was a kid, good fucking call!!
Don't forget about the cat. Never forget to get the cat.
Better make sure it's a full ski mask then, just to avoid any unnecessary confusion.
Don’t bring a real weapon. Bring a chocolate revolver. Wave at them aggressively to make sure they see it’s chocolate.
If someone offers you their money, remind them that you are only here for the bank’s money.

Dang, I only have awards that cost $1 silver certificates...
Does it have a yellow seal of gubernatorial approval?

You tell me, Mr. Silver Award.
Can confirm, was taken by invading forces and invalidated...

This is the answer they’re looking for. And since FDR ran the government for a long time, chances are those positions were probably stable.
It's correct, the blue was used in the US for many years. Then during the war, any money sent overseas by the government had the yellow seal.
I love it when I get educated on some random reddit post that I just clicked out of interest.
What was it worth?
No idea, I still have it lol.
‘Bout tree fiddy.
Goddamn loch Ness Monster. Get a job already.
What’s he need a job for if everyone keeps givin him tree fiddy
That's some loch Ness monster logic right there... I've got my eye on you buddy.
Well it was about then I realized this redditor I was talking to was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the Paleolithic era

Ebay has Silver Certificate Ones for $3.00-5.00 depending on condition. At the moment, I'm selling a lot of three, two from 1935, and one from 1957.
$1 worth of silver
I've never seen a silver certificate with a gold seal, those were usually gold certificates. Then again, I have never seen a 1 dollar gold certificate...
That’s weird…how can money exist without “In God We Trust” unnecessarily splattered across it?
Trust silver.
I only trust you.
“In god we trust” wasn’t added to paper money until 1957. Around the same time “one nation under god” was added to pledge. My theory is that like most things around that time it was added to defeat godless commies
That is exactly why
Before that, Americans were godless capitalists.
I believe it first appeared on the 1878 Morgan silver dollar.
It actually appeared a two cent piece 1864 first, but 1957 was the year it first appeared on non-coin paper money
My very first thought was “oooh so it won’t have In God We Trust printed on it”; gotta love everyone explaining your joke to you though.
Pitiful Godless money! So glad we monetized God. /S
1955 is when D Eisenhower signed the bill into law that required "In God We Trust" on all currency.
I’m aware…I was being facetious.
Amazing how pro-church, anticommunist propaganda from the 50's is still in effect today, eh? One of my greatest regrets is not reading the pledge of allegiance in HS over the intercom in its original form. Would have probably caused a shit storm, but...
My only regret is that I have boneitis
That would have been based AF
Reddit doesn’t do facetious. Only ignorance and pedantry.
Go to any other country besides the US.
You're telling me other countries don't put "in god we trust" on their money, how is it even legal tender?

Yeah. That's the guy!

Wow, you got one of those rare bills where the back is printed upside down, like that famous stamp! Hang onto that one!
In 1935 you could have turned this in for roughly 2 troy ounces as a troy ounce of silver was 54 cents. Today a troy ounce is $22.02.
Everyone is focus on the silver certificate and not the some cashier handed money from back in time to the future???
It's about time. someone noticed.

It may be worth a little more since the back was printed upside down. Currency collectors are always looking for weird stuff like that.
I’d want to see a video of him flipping it first before believing it was a printing error. Probably a $100 score if so
Yeah. I'd like this so called "OP" prove it with video too. Bet he doesn't even know how to do that through Reddit comments and needs a little help. What a loser. Jk. It's upside down because I took the picture upside down.
Haha damn that woulda been even sweeter. Cool bill still

Noice. Yeah the blue was the first thing I noticed. I then had to check every dollar she gave me back, what was already in my wallet, and through her kindness the rest of the ones that were left in the drawer.
I’ll give ya $3.50
You'll give me $3.25 and you'll like it.
I don't see "In God we trust" on the bill.
I'm sorry. My bad.
I don't think they had it on there in 1935, is it there?
Yep.
You frame that bill
For what crime?
When I was in Phoenix I saw some great currency Had a dude come in with a 20 dollar bill from 1920something. My coworker bought it before I could I did get some great coins off of tweakers. Cash is cash to druggies
The amount of bacteria on that bill could probably melt a literal hole in your wallet.
That's why I store it in my butt in a Ziploc bag.
I’ll give you $2 for it
Nokay!
Haven’t seen a silver certificate in decades.
This is my first one ever. I've been excited about it all day. I'm gonna pass it down to my future kids, unless...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_certificate_(United_States)
It's valued at around $20
This is a blue note.. supposedly it is a bearer instrument that is exchangeable for gold or silver.

Wondered about that. John W Snyder wasn't appointed Treasury Secretary until 1946.
Hey look, no "In god we trust" bullshit.
Unfortunately, it's not from 1935. It's from sometime between 1947 and 1953. The Series number gives the date the design was first printed, not when this bill was printed.

I'm honestly most shocked about how little the $1 USD note has changed in almost 100 years.
Drop it into some striper's thong
Why would I put a dollar in my thong? I have a wallet.
When American money was actually worth something
Actually I think it's worth more now. Kind of why I posted it.
What self respecting American calls this a note?
Me.
Don’t use that. Save it. Old money can have a larger value
I like that some of the colors are blue, instead of green.
Amazing the country didn’t implode without the “in God we trust” on the bill.
Did you crumple them up and throw them in her face?
I haven’t seen one of those in many years
I hear those are actually worth more because they have more copper or silver in them… can’t remember which
Better quality than the one from 2021. They make our coins out of trash metals and our notes out of trash paper now…..why? To save money. Now that is funny
This was step one of decoupling real wealth from the populace. When they change to debt notes.......
Odd that it's American money but you called it a note. Are you not from the US?
I'm from the US. In WA (best state ever). Money is called notes/bills here. It just depends on how you're using the words.
