Large denominations of United States currency

Large denominations of United States currency greater than Template:US$ were circulated by the United States Treasury until 1969. Since then, U.S. dollar banknotes have been issued in seven denominations: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.

Overview and history

Large-denomination currency (i.e., banknotes with a face value of Template:US$ or higher)<ref>Friedberg & Friedberg, 2013, pp. 232–35.</ref> had been used in the United States since the late 18th century.<ref>Friedberg & Friedberg, 2013, p. 22.</ref> The first Template:US$ note was issued by North Carolina, authorized by legislation dated May 10, 1780.<ref>Newman, 2008, p. 326.</ref> Virginia quickly followed suit and authorized the printing of Template:US$ and Template:US$ notes on October 16, 1780,<ref>Newman, 2008, p. 454.</ref> and Template:US$ notes on May 7, 1781.<ref>Newman, 2008, p. 455.</ref> High-denomination treasury notes were issued; for example, during the War of 1812 ($1,000 notes authorized by an act dated June 30, 1812).<ref>Friedberg & Friedberg, 2013, p. 32.</ref> During the American Civil War, Confederate currency included Template:US$ and Template:US$ notes.<ref>Fricke, 2014, p. 122 & 124.</ref> The earliest (1861) federal banknotes included high-denomination notes such as three-year interest-bearing notes of Template:US$, Template:US$, and Template:US$, authorized by Congress on July 17, 1861.<ref name="July17">United States Congress. Act of July, 17 1861 Chapter V. Washington D.C.: 1861</ref> In total, 11 different types of U.S. currency were issued in high-denomination notes across nearly 20 different series dates. The obverse designs of United States banknotes generally depict either historical figures, allegorical figures symbolizing significant concepts (e.g., liberty, justice), or both. The reverse designs range from abstract scroll-work with ornate denomination identifiers to reproductions of historical art works.

Public versus institutional use

Series 1934 gold certificates ($100; [[United States five-hundred-dollar bill|Template:US$]]; [[United States one-thousand-dollar bill|Template:US$]]; [[United States ten-thousand-dollar bill|Template:US$]]; and [[United States one hundred-thousand-dollar bill|Template:US$]]) were issued after the gold standard was repealed and gold was compulsorily confiscated by order of President Franklin Roosevelt on March 9, 1933 (see United States Executive Order 6102). Thus, the series 1934 notes were used only for intragovernmental (i.e., Federal Reserve Bank) transactions and were not issued to the public.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> This series was discontinued in 1940. The series 1928 gold certificate reverse was printed in black and green (see History of the United States dollar).

Passive retirement

Although they remain legal tender in the United States, high-denomination bills were last printed on December 27, 1945, and were officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, by the Federal Reserve System<ref name="Money Factory">Template:Cite journal</ref> because of "lack of use".<ref name="Dauer">Template:Cite book</ref> The lower production Template:US$ and Template:US$ notes had effectively disappeared well before then.<ref group="nb">One hundred Template:US$ bills were on display for many years by Benny Binion at Binion's Horseshoe casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they were encased in acrylic. The display has since been dismantled and the bills sold to private collectors. </ref>

Beginning in July 1969, the Federal Reserve began removing high-denomination currency from circulation and destroying any large bills returned by banks.<ref name="Dauer"/> Template:As of, only 336 Template:US$ bills were known to exist, along with 342 Template:US$ bills, 165,372 Template:US$ bills and fewer than 75,000 Template:US$ bills (of over 900,000 printed).<ref name=slate>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} As to "cereal boxes" as a repository for ill-gotten bribes, compare "Little Tin Box" in the musical Fiorello!.</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Due to their rarity, collectors pay considerably more than the face value of the bills to acquire them, and some are in museums.

These larger denomination bills were mainly used by banks and the federal government for large financial transactions, which was especially true for gold certificates from 1865 to 1934. The introduction of electronic money systems has made large-scale cash transactions mostly obsolete, and concerns about counterfeiting and the use of cash for unlawful activities such as drug trafficking and money laundering has caused the U.S. government not to reissue any large-denomination currency.

According to the U.S. Department of Treasury website, "The present denominations of our currency in production are Template:US$, Template:US$, Template:US$, Template:US$, Template:US$, Template:US$ and Template:US$. The purpose of the United States currency system is to serve the needs of the public and these denominations meet that goal. Neither the Department of the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve System has any plans to change the denominations in use today."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In June 2024, Representative Paul Gosar introduced a bill into congress to force the Federal Reserve to restart issuance of $500 bills and adopt a new design that would feature then former President Donald Trump in its portrait.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Subsequently, in 2025 a bill was introduced in Congress to issue a $250 note, also with Trump's portrait.<ref>"Bill calls for $250 note to be issued with Trump portrait", Coin World, March 11, 2025, accessed May 19, 2025</ref>

Table of banknotes

The National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution contains the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) certified proofs and the Treasury Department collection of United States currency. Using a combination of proofs and issued notes, a nearly complete type set of high-denomination currency was compiled. Notably missing are several types of Compound and Interest Bearing Notes. Printed during the early to mid-1860s on very thin paper, these high-denomination notes are virtually non-existent. Their issuance (1861–65) predates the BEP's responsibility for U.S. currency (1870s), so very few proofs exist in the current archives.
