OK, I am being argumantative for no particular reason.

I transfer my half correct answer to Judy. After all, she probably wasn't even though of in 69.

PessOptimist,
That is being a good sport.
The $10,000 was the largest denomination circulated in the general public.
The Federal Reserve did recall the "big" bills in 1969.
The largest current denomination printed is the $100..... which will probably be worth what a $2 bills would buy when Benny gets through with his QE money printing..... maybe they will bring the $100,000 back and circulate it.

Hope that anchovie went down well......phew

I await the answer with "baited breath". (just had an anchovie)


I guess we could debate "general public" forever in a time when $100 per week was considered good pay. (at least where I was)

$10,000 was the highest issued for circulation to the general public. It was not recalled, it was discontinued after the 1934 series.

jpcavin,

You got half of it right.

I did a paper on this in high school many years ago. Of course the history may be different now. I chose that subject because it had been in the news recently.

"General public" is kind of tricky as a lot of people were making $1.something in those days so we never saw $100 bills. The largest bill was $100,000.

Final answer: $1000, 1969.

PessOptimist,

You got half of it right.
The $1000 was the most common of the "big" bills.... but there were others.
The $100,000 was the largest but not circulated to the general public.

How about a fiat money question.
What is the largest denomination of all the US "dollar bills" that circulated in the general public and what year were they recalled?
