The United States 10,000-dollar bill (US$10000) (1878–1934) is an obsolete denomination of the United States dollar. The $10,000 note was the highest denomination of US currency to be used by the public and was no longer issued after 1969. 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.[1]
While $10,000 bills were the highest denomination used by the public, a higher-denomination bill, the $100,000 bill, was used for inter-bank transfers, did not circulate,[2] and its possession by private holders is illegal.[3]
