United States ten-thousand-dollar bill

Rare card · No. 73623

The United States 10,000-dollar bill (US$10000) is a denomination of the United States dollar. The denomination was first issued in 1878 and the last series were produced in 1934. They were withdrawn from circulation after 1969. The $10,000 note was the highest denomination of US currency to be used by the public. These notes are still legal tender, and thus banks will redeem them for face value. However, their value to collectors is well above their face value. While $10-thousand-bills were the highest denomination used by the public, a higher-denomination bill, the $100 thousand bill, was used for inter-bank transfers, did not circulate, and its possession by private holders is illegal.
