highest denomination of currency
The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. Only 42,000 were printed and they were only used for transferring large amounts of money between government departments.
This leaves the $100 Federal Reserve note as the nationâs highest-denomination circulating banknote. The $100 bill, featuring a portrait of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, is one of the worldâs most popular and widely-traded forms of paper currency.
