The 1923 $1 United States Note was the last one-dollar Legal Tender Note ever issued — the series was not renewed, and the denomination was effectively ceded to the Federal Reserve, which had been issuing its own $1 notes since 1913. By the early 1920s, the Legal Tender series was already a relic, kept alive more by institutional inertia than monetary necessity.
Speelman served as Register of the Treasury and White as Treasurer, a pairing that dated from 1921. Notes with this signature combination appear across several series of that period, making the combination common but the denomination itself anything but.
