Look at the seller's other items--he's got quite a lot of random-looking matched-serial pairs, too, like two different notes with serial 02613877....
The reason is lack of demand for anything larger. There used to be a real purpose for the likes of $10,000 notes--banks needed them to transfer...
The four notes *are* the entire sheet. That was how nearly all large-size notes were printed.... For the cost figures, see this FRB document....
Actually, since 1890 the Treasury has had the authority to change coin designs once they've been in use for 25 years. Currently, the half-dollar...
The backs and faces of the notes aren't printed by the same press--they're printed in separate operations several days apart, so that the back has...
Hmmm...looks like some webmaster at the Treasury is confused. That January 1971 date is the last delivery of USNs *to* the Treasury by the BEP;...
Nixon's closing of the gold window is a red herring here...the last U.S. Notes were issued in 1994, not 1971. The last *printing* was in 1971...
Couple of things: The Fed doesn't actually profit from issuing currency. Whenever the Fed ships out $1000 in ones to a commercial bank, that...

Except that Walmart actually had the golden dollars a month or so *before* the banks did, through some sort of promotional agreement with the...
Over the years I've gotten occasional requests for the currency serialling information on my website to be available in a more printer-friendly...
Be aware that it is not at all difficult to bleach the red ink off of a red-seal note, and there are many such altered notes floating around the...
