The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
A: $10,000
The highest denomination U.S. currency ever put into public circulation was the $10,000 Federal Reserve Note (featuring Salmon P. Chase), first issued in 1918 and discontinued in 1969. While a $100,000 Gold Certificate was printed in 1934, it was used exclusively for inter-bank transfers and never circulated among the general public.
