The 1929 shift to small-size nationals was a Federal Reserve System-driven standardization — every national bank in the country, regardless of charter size or regional prestige, suddenly issued notes from the same BEP plates, differentiated only by the printed bank name, charter number, and officers' signatures. For collectors, this uniformity is exactly the point: the same Series 1929 framework was used by over 6,000 issuing banks, making this one of the most systematically documented note types in American numismatics, yet simultaneously one of the most granular — a single charter number can command multiples of face value simply due to low reported population.
Two types exist within this series. Type 1 carries the bank's charter number in black twice on the face; Type 2 adds it a third time in brown, matching the serial number ink. The distinction matters for attribution and value.
