<p>[QUOTE=&quot;willieboyd2, post: 7485738, member: 4910&quot;]The only United States $1000 bills I have seen have been at coin show exhibitions and in museums.</p><p><br /></p><p>They used to circulate, however, and occasionally turn up in motion pictures and on television programs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes the bills are explicitly stated to be $1000 bills, such as in the two versions of &quot;The Maltese Falcon&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_movie_maltesefalcon1931_bills.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The Maltese Falcon (1931)</p><p><br /></p><p>A man gives detective Sam Spade $10,000 in ten $1000 bills.

The $1000 bills are portrayed by real US $10 bills.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_movie_maltesefalcon1941_bills.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The Maltese Falcon (1941)</p><p><br /></p><p>A man gives detective Sam Spade $10,000 in ten $1000 bills. Later one bill disappears and reappears. The $1000 bills are portrayed by the common imitation Mexican &quot;prop&quot; notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other films:</p><p><br /></p><p>In John Steinbeck&#039;s novel <i>East of Eden</i> and the subsequent 1955 film Cal Trask (James Dean) attempts to prove to his father that he can earn money by showing him $14,000 in $1000 bills which he had to order from the Federal Reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>In William Lindsay Gresham&#039;s novel <i>Nightmare Alley</i> and the subsequent 1947 film Stanton Carlisle, a stage mentalist, hands over $150,000 in $1000 bills to Dr. Lilith Ritter to hold for him. Later he gets the money back from her but finds that she has replaced the money with $1 bills. The bills are portrayed by the common imitation Mexican &quot;prop&quot; notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some films the $1000 bills are only implied, such as in the 1943 film &quot;Shadow of a Doubt&quot; where &quot;Uncle Charlie&quot; goes into a bank, states that he has $40,000 to deposit and hands the bank manager a small stack of bills. He does not say that they are $1000 bills but smaller notes would make a much larger stack.</p><p><br /></p><p>There must be many more books, film, and television programs which feature $1000 bills as part of their stories.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
