Banknotes of largest denomination
A lot of bills of different denominations were printed, including $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100. There was also a $500 bill that featured President William McKinley. Grover Cleveland could be seen on the front of the $1,000 bill, and James Madison was portrayed on the $5,000 bill.
The $10,000 bill is a banknote of the largest denomination that was issued in free circulation. It showed the US Treasury Secretary, Salmon P. Chase, who was in power during the Lincoln administration. Now it is a real rarity.
A gold certificate for $100,000 is a banknote of the largest denomination ever printed in the United States. It was released in 1934. However, later, it was withdrawn due to economic risks. It never appeared in free circulation.
