United States one thousand-dollar bill

The United States one-thousand-dollar bill was printed from 1861 to 1934. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) continued to issue the notes until 1969. The notes did not see much circulation among the public because they were printed to facilitate transactions between banks. In 1878 and 1880, the Treasury produced the $1,000 bill as a silver certificate. Other subsequent versions were produced in 1878, 1880 and 1891. In 1913, a large-size version of the bill was issued as a Federal Reserve Note. In 1882, the note was issued as a gold certificate. In 1928 the treasury began to issue small-size bills and the $1,000 denomination featured US President Grover Cleveland. The small-size was issued in 1928 and 1934. Examples of $1000 bills are valued by collectors and they regularly sell for more than their face value, particularly those with a gold seal. On July 14, 1969, the United States Department of the Treasury announced all notes in denominations greater than US$100 would be discontinued. Since 1969, banks have been required to send any $1000 bill to the Department of the Treasury for destruction.
