The US federal reserve board currently issues seven denomination of dollar notes, which includes $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes.
According to information available on the website of the US Currency Education Programme, the current design of the $100 note, issued on October 8, 2013, is the latest denomination to be redesigned.
The $1 note, issued in 1963, featuring President George Washington has never been changed.
The US government periodically redesigns federal reserve notes to make them easier to use, but more difficult to counterfeit.
All US currency remains legal tender regardless of when it was issued.
The US Currency Education Programme which provides education, training, and information about federal reserve notes emphasis that “it is U.S. government policy that all designs of U.S currency remain legal tender, regardless of when they were issued”.
Adding that this policy includes “all denominations of federal reserve notes, from 1914 to the present”.
The claim that the US has redesigned dollar notes and will reject all old notes from January 2023 is false.
