The first issued Federal Reserve Bank notes the BEP only issued in three denominations. $5, $10 and $20. The goal with this series was to phase out the system of National Currency that started in 1863. The problem with national currency was that the supply was fixed and inelastic. In order to allow monetary expansion the fed would redeem national currency from a bank and issue Federal Reserve bank notes instead. The money was backed by the same bonds but the fed could issue more currency at will by issuing more of it's own bonds. The plan didn't work and take up was slight. Because of this, series 1915 notes are scarce especially in $10 and $20 denominations. These notes were issued in five federal districts. Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta San Francisco and Kansas City. San Francisco is the scarcest over all because they only issued $5.00's.
