This is typography I would like to have more of personally.
Here is a copy of the United States $100,000 Gold Certificate front and back issued in 1934.
(c/o Wikipedia’s, ‘Large denominations of United States currency article.’ )
This was an odd bill and not generally issued.
Gold certificates like these were issued after the gold standard was repealed gold was compulsorily purchased by presidential order of Franklin Roosevelt on March 9, 1933 and thus were used only for intra-government transactions.
The series was discontinued in 1940.
Circulation of high-denomination bills was halted in 1969 by executive order of President Nixon, in an effort to combat organized crime.
