This Sefer HaTanya is without the dollar bill.
The Chalukah of the Tanya on 19th of Kislev 1990 (based on descriptions written at the time): “In the afternoon, word spread that the Rebbe would distribute a Tanya to everyone. At 17:45 the Rebbe returned from prayer at the Ohel of the Rayatz for Minchah and Maariv to which a large number of people had come. Around 18:15 the Chalukah began – the Rebbe stood at his Stender and gave out the Tanya with a dollar bill for charity.
To some who asked for another Tanya for someone else, the Rebbe refused, saying that this Chalukah is only for those who are here. At the end of the Cישךולשי, he took one Tanya and placed it under his Siddur. The Chalukah lasted about four consecutive hours until about 22:10. On the following Sabbat, Parshat Vayeshev, 21 Kislev, the Rebbe entered the Hitva’adut with the Book of the Tanya which was distributed in the 19th Kislev, and was lying on the table for the entire time of the Hitva’adut. Furing the Hitva’adut, the Rebbe said that this year marks the 192nd anniversary of the Ge’ulah of the 19th of Kislev (1799-1990), and that the letters קצ"ב (the gematriya of the year) indicate a number of things: א. כבר נסתיימה העבודה דקיבוץ הניצוצות. ב. שכבר "נקצב" ונסתיים הזמן "דהפצת המעיינות חוצה", ומוכנים לקיום ההבטחה "דאתי מר דא מלכא משיחא".
