Currently, the highest treasury note produced is the $100.00 bill.\n\nThe largest single denomination note ever produced was a limited run of $100,000 Gold Certificates in 1934.\n\nThe largest denomination note ever produced as currency by the United States Treasury was the $10,000 note.  However, the $10,000 note, along with the $5,000 note, the $1,000 note, and the $500 note were all taken out of production in the 1940s, and were taken out of distribution by the U.S. Treasury in 1969.\n\nSince then, the largest denomination treasury note (dollar bill) has been the $100.00 bill.\n\nIf you would like more information on this subject, you can go to http://www.treasury.gov/education/faq/currency/denominations.shtml, where the United States Treasury itself is more than happy to provide you with the answers to your questions.\n\nOh, and while there are "million dollar bills" floating around out there, they are simply novelty items, and have never been actual currency.  There's no such thing as a REAL million dollar bill.

Article I of the US Constitution gives Congress the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures."\n\nThey oversee the treasury and decide how much money to print with the assistance of the US Treasury Department.  This is done based upon economic forecasts, the value of the dollar verses other currencies and the need for the money.  They may want to print more money to create inflation (which lowers unemployment) or limit the money to create savings.\n\nThey also print money to compensate for the money that is being constantly taken out of circulation (you trade in a ripped dollar at a bank and they destroy it and print a new one to replace it).\n\nThe Federal Bank handle fiscal policy (such as interest rates and borrowing guidelines), not monetary policy (how much to actually spend).

Don't try cashing that at a 7-eleven.  Actually the US doesn't print bills of that denomination.

well you can print them online these days.\n\nI would assume somewhere in DC. But could be wrong.\n\nFound it the Bureau of Engraving and Printing officially took over production of postage stamps in July 1894.\n\nI found a cool link below outlining the postage rates since 1863.

actually, the largest bill ever printed in the US was a $1000, which is no longer made.  They come in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.  They also used to make a $500 but quit producing that as well.  The million dollar bills you see out there, are prank bills, worth nothing more than the paper they're printed on or whatever the company making them can sell them for.\n-Duo

go to a book store and buy a copy of Official Guide to U S Paper Money. Or if you have just a few, don't even buy the book, just right down the pertinent information and go look it up in the book store. Condition is critial to the value. Generally, a note in good condition is worth about 10% of what a note in uncirulated condition is worth. I assume they are U S notes.

I don't understand why this is a big deal. Most other countries already do something along this line, and it's a simple fix. Canada has a pattern of raised dots in the upper right corner of their banknotes. Mexico is presently issuing banknotes with raised marks in the upper right hand corner. On Japanese banknotes, the raised dots are in the watermark area.\n\nThis is a case where the US trails behind the rest of the world. These markings are also a good anti-counterfieting measure (along with the iridescent bands used on the Canadian, Mexican, and Euro banknotes) and holograms (Used on Canadian and Euro notes). This is a case of the US being kind of stupid, since they don't want to spend money to make the US dollar harder to fake.\n\nComments?

Currency denominations on one country are not based on currency of another country. The US dollar is a standard of measure in the US, regardless of its performance against other currencies, such as the Euro or pound.

I have very bad news for you:\n\nIn 1971 the President of the United States of America Richard Nixon decided to suspend the convertability convertibility from dollars to gold.\n\nIn 1968 an ounce of Gold was worth exactly $35\n\nIn 1971 the United States of America had a reserve deficit of $56 Billion dollars; as well, it had depleted most of its non-gold reserves and had only 22% gold coverage of foreign reserves. In short, the dollar was tremendously overvalued with respect to gold.\n\nIn 1971 more and more dollars were being printed in Washington, then being pumped overseas, to pay for the government's military expenditures and private investments. In the first six months of 1971, assets for $22 billion fled the United States\n\nIn 1971, the United States government abandoned the gold standard, so that the US dollar was no longer a fixed currency, and most of the world's currencies followed suit.\n\nAll this means the United States of America Goverment can print any amount of Dollars and it does not have to back the value with Gold or with anything else.\n\nIn other words. The dollar is just a piece of paper.\n\nThe only thing backing the Dollar is the PROMISE of the United States of America Goverment to pay back someday with the taxes it collects. This is of course impossible because the money collected is less than the money spend. In other words. The United States of America Goverment is unprofitable.\n\nHowever, they just keep printing more and more money and they just selling more and more dollars.\n\nIt's like a MasterCard with Unlimited Credit and they just keep buying and buying things and they don't worry about the increasing debt because they know MasterCard is never going to cancel the Credit Line.\n\nIf you want to know how much money the United States of America Goverment owes to the rest of the world just check the link below

No, very little of the world's money is actually held as printed currency. Banks have the unique ability to create money, by taking people's savings and loaning them out. Depending on the banks required reserve rate (the amount kept for daily transactions) banks can create over $2000 from a $100 deposit.

The amount of money is constantly fluctuating.\n\nEach country regulates its own currency.  If you print too much, the value of your currency will decrease.  The value of the money is based on the country's productivity.  The USA has the biggest GNP at $11.75 trillion.  A country's currency will go up or down in value based on the actions in that country.  If it prints more money, its value will drop in comparison to other countries that are not printing out more money.

Here's a link to the Department Of Treasury's Bureau Of Engraving and Printing, the agency responsible for currency:

No way how can any country let alone USA give the rights to print the money for other countries. Thats in no way possible. That kind of a thing will affect the security and the economy of the country . So my answer is a Big NO

A good question (but perhaps better off in the economics area of the site). Every pound or euro note you hold has been printed and spent by the state (before you receive it from your bank or employer or client), and on the day it was printed, the total number of pound notes in the country changed slightly.\n\n  This is the issue we are discussing here: how much money can a country print before it causes disaster?\n\n    The answer is that generally a country may print or create a small amount of cash on top of the notes it takes out of circulation, but while deciding how much to print, it must take a very careful look at recent inflation and exchange rate statistics.\n\n   If a country prints too much money, both the inflation and the exchange rates will go haywire / will be adversely affected. This is because, as money becomes more abundant but the things you buy with money do not, the ratio of people wanting to buy stuff and people selling stuff changes. \n\n  Simply put, if a country doubles the amount of money in circulation, then market forces will automatically take down the value of the exchange rate at least by half, prices of all goods and services will go up (will double), and imports become harder to afford as it now takes at least twice as much money to but the same imported goods.\n\n   Why is this not the case for the USA (and the Eurozone)? It is sometimes and to an extent (for the above reasons), but:\n when much of the extra money that is added into circulation does not get spent and then spent again by the person who received it, and again ..., instead the money is stockpiled somewhere (by a person, a company or a government), then the above affect does not take place until the stockpiled money is spent again. \n\nAnd if the total amount of money in the world being stockpiled (most large stockpiles are in dollars and euros as there are used for international trade and to keep other currencies stable) goes up, so (to conclude in the correct jargon) non-inflationary increases in money supply are possible.
