Federal Reserve Bank Officials
In 1933, an emergency issue of Federal Reserve Bank Notes (backdated Series 1929 due to the use of old printing plates) was produced, in order to quickly increase the volume of currency available to the banking system during the Depression. These notes were signed not only by the Register and Treasurer, but also by two officials of the issuing Federal Reserve Bank. The table below lists these twenty-four FRB signers and presents a specimen of each signature.
