<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1244980, member: 22476&quot;]You were able to use ANY denomination bill as long as it did NOT have an ORANGE back I believe. People COULD use $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills if they had green backs and were Federal Reserve notes and certain Gold Certificates (or I think just redeemible in gold) but the problem probably was, with money being worth so much back then, few people probably had the money to touch, let alone use a $500 or up. I told my mom and dad in the mid 1980s when $1,000 bills may have still been around &quot;Get a $1,000 bill! Get a $1,000 bill&quot; when I was a kid, and they got their income tax, because, I wasn&#039;t sure if $1,000 bills even existed, and did not even think to ask about a $500 bill (or a $5,000 or $10,000, which my parents could not afford anyway <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and my neighbor who worked at a bank said &quot;They want you to turn those in&quot; I&#039;m guessing for destruction. I just wanted to see a $1,000 bill if they existed. But yeah, if you had the money before July 14 of 1969, you could have walked around with a single piece of paper worth $10,000![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
