text: i cant read the date on my dollar bill but can read the other numbers, where can i go to see how old it is? it looks like 1888 but i didn't think they made dollar bills that old. all other numbers and letters i can read. looking for some where on the internet that i can put the other numbers in and maybe it can then tell me how old it was. can you read the name of the secretary of treasury on the front of the bill?  that and a little simple research will narrow it down quite a bit!
