| Comments |
The $10,000 note was never intended for public use. These high-denomination Federal Reserve Notes circulated exclusively between Federal Reserve Banks for large interbank settlements — a function largely superseded by wire transfers. The Treasury began withdrawing them from circulation in 1969, and any example encountered today has almost certainly not moved through a teller window in over half a century.
Fewer than 100 examples of the 1934 series across all issuing banks are known to survive. The Boston district issued the fewest of any Federal Reserve district, making this among the rarest of an already vanishingly scarce type. Julian and Morgenthau signed together from 1934 through 1945.
