I think we would all like to have some of those laying around....
My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!
The largest bill the Treasury ever released is the $100,000 gold note. This was never in public circulation, being used only for transactions between Federal Reserve Banks. Production lasted for a mere three weeks (18 Dec 1934 through 9 Jan 1935). It's illegal for anyone to own one.
But you can't find a wire transfer laying on the ground..
Some lady in Toronto found a bag with $40,000 in it on the street outside my TD branch a month ago. Apparently it was cash from ATMs and fell off a truck Pretty close to finding a wire...

Currency notes of denominations above $100 are not available from the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.
These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today; however, most notes still in circulation are probably in the hands of private numismatic dealers and collectors. If you are interested in purchasing these larger denominations, it is suggested that you contact private dealers or collectors who are usually listed in the classified section of the telephone directory under the headings of ?Coins? and ?Hobbies.?
