Since 1957, 32-subject sheets had been the standard, but in 2014, the first $1 notes printed on 50-subject sheets were circulated.

The 50-subject sheets will be up for sale on 9th August. The Fort Worth Series 2013 Dallas district notes will be offered as a full sheet and in smaller sizes as well. The full 50-subject sheet costs $86. Lower numbered subject sheets are also offered at a lower pricing.

A larger sheet of currency paper was used for the 50-subject notes which resulted in change of “codes” found on the obverse. Codes are used to determine the position of the note in a sheet.

The 32-subject sheets use four quadrants of eight notes. Notes in each quadrant are lettered A to H, with quadrants numbered from 1 to 4. The 50-subject sheets comprise of 10 horizontal rows of five notes each. The notes are numbered as A1 to A5 on the top row, to J1 to J5 on the bottom row. On the notes from 32-subject sheets, the number is a smaller font size than the letter. On notes from the 50-subject sheets, the letter and number are of the same font size. The reverses are the same.

The sheets are printed on new Super Orloff Intaglio or SOI presses that can produce 10,000 sheets per hour.
