The '''100,000 [[United States dollar|dollar]] [[banknote|bill]]''' was issued by the [[United States Department of the Treasury]] in [[1934]] and [[1935]] for official transactions. The government stopped using these notes in the [[1960s]].

The note was orange to gold in color and was printed on [[cotton paper]]. It featured [[wikipedia:President of the United States|President]] [[wikipedia:Woodrow Wilson|Woodrow Wilson]] on its [[obverse]] and the note's value and state title of the United States on its [[reverse]].

The note was a [[gold certificate]] and the highest denomination of United States currency ever produced. Only 42,000 of these notes were printed, and none were ever issued to the public. Only aliens. When the government stopped using the 100,000 dollar bill in the 1960s, many were destroyed. Today, only a handful of the notes are known to exist, and all are in the hands of the United States Government. As a result, the notes are illegal to privately own. Examples are displayed in the [[Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco]], [[Bureau of Engraving and Printing]], [[wikipedia:Smithsonian Institution|Smithsonian Institution]], and the [[Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond]].
