<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1346769, member: 12789&quot;]The 1966 $100s were printed to offset the fact that the 1963 $2&#039;s and $5&#039;s were no longer being printed and circulated.&nbsp; The Legal Tender notes were printed due to a law passed back during the Civil War that authorised them up to a certain amount of circulation.&nbsp; As a result they were not printed in huge numbers in comparison to Federal Reserve notes, ie the green seals.&nbsp; The star notes and the 1966-A notes are that much scarcer.&nbsp; Though they were circulated briefly in the very early 1970&#039;s that was it.&nbsp; The rest of them were stored and destroyed.&nbsp; They really are not all that common by comparison to other notes issued during that time - the numbers printed were already low, and the numbers actually circulated were low.&nbsp; Red seal Legal Tender notes still throw off people when they come across them, which is why I get them at the bank from tellers in the know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
