1934 US$1000 bill. The United States 1000 dollar bill (US$1000) is an obsolete denomination of United States currency. It was issued by the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) beginning in 1861 and ending in 1934. Since 1969 Treasury policy is to withdraw any $1000 bills it receives, but it is still legal tender.
The U.S. Dollar has numerous discontinued denominations, particularly high denomination bills, issued before and in 1934 in six denominations ranging from $500 to $100,000.
Large denominations of United States currency greater than $100 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 .
Thus the United States moved to a gold standard, making both gold and silver the legal-tender coinage of the United States, and guaranteed the dollar as convertible to 23.22 grains (1.50463 grams, 0.048375 troy ounces) of pure gold, or a little over $20.67 per ounce.
The United States one-hundred-thousand-dollar bill (US$100,000) is a former denomination of United States currency issued from 1934 to 1935. The bill, which features President Woodrow Wilson, was created as a large denomination note for gold transactions between Federal Reserve Banks; it never circulated publicly. [2] [3]
In the United States, it is a notional unit equivalent to a thousandth of a United States dollar (a hundredth of a dime or a tenth of a cent). In the United Kingdom, it was proposed during the decades of discussion on decimalisation as a 1 ⁄ 1000 division of sterling's pound.
