This is a 1917 $1 United States Note.

The 1917 $1 United States Note, also known as a 'Legal Tender Note,' represents a unique period in American currency history. These notes were obligations of the U.S. government and were redeemable in lawful money at the Treasury or any Federal Reserve bank. The design features a portrait of George Washington in the center, with a symbolic vignette at the top depicting Columbus's discovery of America. The red seal and serial numbers distinguish it from other types of currency of the time.

Collectors value them for their historical significance and distinctive design. The signatures of the Treasurer and Register of the United States are also important identifying features.
