Yes, it was. IIRC, the modern, smaller bills first went into circulation in the 1930s. There's an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies based on the old dollar bill size. Jed Clampett's uncle didn't trust banks and in the 1920s had been burying mason jars full of dollar bills in his backyard. Most were the old-style, punch card-size bills. He tells Drysdale the banker that his uncle has "big money". Drysdale of course thinks that if Jed Clampett the millionaire thinks it's big money, that uncle must be very rich, indeed.... -Paul W.
