1934 Series $500 U.S. Bank NoteItem: 739-831
Own one of America's last high denomination bills - issued when its value was estimated to represent 4 years' pay for a typical worker - with our 1934 Series $500 U.S. Bank Note. It is guaranteed to be in extra fine (XF) or better condition and comes to you encapsulated in a clear acrylic brick holder to help preserve its beauty and condition. We're also tucking this rare collectible into a niche inside a custom black velvet-lined box for display. This was America's last $500 bill. Today, the highest denomination is $100. Most were used for transactions between banks prior to the days of electronic transmissions. And although it's still legal tender - worth far more than its face value - if one appeared in general circulation it would be destroyed by the Government, as were most others beginning in 1969. The 1934 series came into circulation during the Great Depression at a time when the average worker only made $1 per day if they were lucky enough to have a job. It features our 25th President, William McKinley, on the face - his second term in office was cut short when he was assassinated while attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, in 1901.
