• Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, appears on $10 notes.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced a series of $100,000 gold certificates from December 18, 1934 until January 9, 1935. The certificates, which featured a portrait of Woodrow Wilson, represent the largest denomination ever printed as of 2015. The $100,000 bills were used only to transfer funds between Federal Reserve Banks.

Bills of $500 to $10,000 circulated until 1969. Banks used them to transfer funds to other banks. The Treasury Department discontinued these notes because technological advances made physically moving cash from one bank to another unnecessary.

• The $500 bill bears an image of William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States.
  
• Starting in 1928, $1,000 notes carried a picture of Grover Cleveland, who served nonconsecutive terms as the 22nd president and 24th president.
• $5,000 bills had a portrait of President James Madison.
• The $10,000 bill bore the image of Salmon P. Chase, Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury.
