The largest note ever printed by the BEP was the $100,000 Gold Certificate, Series 1934. These notes were printed from Dec 18, 1934 through Jan 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the US to Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury. These notes were used for transactions between FRBs and were not circulated among the general public.
