Theres a decent chance this actually happens.

Outside the US, older USD is worth less. When I paid the chinese embassy for my visa, they only took post 2021 100 notes and post 2017 20s.

This is likely about anticounterfeiting tech advancements.

You can pass a Series 1934 note just fine from a legal standpoint, but with the old style design and less advanced features (no watermarks/embedded thread/colour changing inks) people might not trust its legitimacy.

Some countries demonetize their old notes aggressively. If you want to spend the £10 note you parents had from a 2000s trip, you'll have to take it to the Bank of England to exchange for a newer one.
