The Treasury seal and serial numbers on Federal Reserve Notes were printed in green, distinguishing them from other types of currency. The term "dark green" may indicate a specific shade or variation of the green ink used.
The 1928 $500 Federal Reserve Note, often referred to as the "Dark Green" note due to the deep green color of its Treasury seal and serial numbers, is a highly sought-after piece of American currency history. Issued during a time when high-denomination bills were primarily used for large financial transactions between banks, this note features a portrait of President William McKinley on the front and carries a distinctive small-size design introduced that same year. Printed in limited quantities and eventually discontinued from circulation in 1969, the 1928 $500 note stands out for its rarity, historical significance, and visual appeal. Collectors especially prize well-preserved examples of the "Dark Green" series, as they represent both a bygone era of American banking and a true gem of numismatic Americana.
