Funnyback

A Funnyback is a type of one-dollar silver certificate produced in 1928 and 1934 in the United States.

People referred to the note as a "Funnyback" based on the significantly lighter green ink and unusual font printed on the reverse.

Prior to 1928, United States currency was of the large-note variety; measuring 7.375 by 3.125 in (187.3 by 79.4 mm), they were referred as "Horse Blankets".

[3] Under the portrait of George Washington, a note states that the paper is redeemable for "one silver dollar".

[4] People called the note the Funnyback based on the dramatically lighter green ink used on the reverse and the unusually large font used for the word "ONE" in the center of the design.

[4] Initially, some people refused to accept the new smaller notes because they were unsure they were real money.

[7][8] Before the introduction of the Funnyback, United States currency was of the large-note "horse blanket" variety.

[3] When the note began circulating, Louis A. Hill, a former director of the BEP, said the bill was "the poorest, confessedly the cheapest, and without doubt, the most dangerous issue of United States currency in history".
