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?

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

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.

jpcavin,
