Treasury Notes

The U.S. Dollar has numerous discontinued denominations, particularly high denomination bills, issued in a small size in 1929, along with the $1 through $100 denominations. These bills ceased production in the 1940s, and were recalled in 1969.

• The $500 bill featuring a portrait of William McKinley
• The $1,000 bill featuring a portrait of Grover Cleveland
• The $5,000 bill featuring a portrait of James Madison
• The $10,000 bill featuring a portrait of Salmon P. Chase

The $100,000 bill featuring a portrait of Woodrow Wilson was only printed in 1934, and was only used for internal government transactions.

The United States also issued fractional currency for a brief time in the 1880s.
