Do you have change for a thousand?

[jpeyton]

I didn't even know these were still around.

That is some LEET money. I would love to see the look on someone's face if I tried to buy $1000 worth of stuff with it, they'd probably treat it like monopoly money.

 

[imported_judge]

there is no such thing as $1000 bill

 

[Mr N8]

Yes, there is a such thing as a $1000 bill. There is also a $500 bill. They were mostly used for payments between financial institutions or large businesses. That bill is easily worth $3000 in today's collector market.

The largest denomination ever printed was $100,000. The portrait of President Woodrow Wilson was featured on the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate. It was printed for only 2 months. The notes were used for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public. During World War II, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing stopped production of denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure electronic transfer technologies, they were no longer needed. The Federal Reserve Board stopped distributing those denominations in 1969. The present denominations of U.S. currency in production are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.

Mmmm that'd be super pimp if you had a 10,000 dollar bill although no one in their right mind would accept it.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Currency notes of denominations above $100 are not available from the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.

These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today; however, most notes still in circulation are probably in the hands of private numismatic dealers and collectors. If you are interested in purchasing these larger denominations, it is suggested that you contact private dealers or collectors who are usually listed in the classified section of the telephone directory under the headings of ?Coins? and ?Hobbies.?

I had a 1934 $20.00, but I gave it to my daughter as part of a B/D gift.

I was QUITE shocked when I got THAT at the bank one day!

that is what you said. you are totally WRONG. none of this 'public use' bs

 

[jagec]

Friend of mine was telling me he was in line at the local Big 5 when the guy in front of him tried to buy something with a $1000 bill. Obviously they didn't have change.

Probably trying to launder a counterfeit bill, but what kind of moron fakes a thousand dollar bill? Best to stick with 20's...

Yup, money is money. It never goes "out of style"

However you can't take a Gold Certificate of a Silver Certificate in and get gold or silver for it!

You'd be an idiot to spend it, as it's worth way more than $1000. And legal tender doesn't mean they have to accept it, so don't expect to be able to buy a cup of coffee with it.

and run away with the bill before giving change

 

[kranky]

These turn up at banks from time to time, usually when an elderly person who has held on to it for years cashes one in. Most bank tellers know to exchange it for their own money and sell it to a collector for a quick $700-$1000 profit (or more, depending on condition).

I think the one in the auction will sell for about $1800-$2000.
