The $1 and $5 notes are Silver Certificates, which means they were once exchangeable for silver dollars or bullion. This program was discontinued in the early 1960s, making these notes valuable relics of a time when U.S. currency was backed by the silver standard, offering collectors a tangible connection to monetary history. Additionally, the collection includes a $2 note with a distinctive red seal, making the $1 $2 $5 Silver, Red & Blue Seal Note Set special.
