planman2014 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Not much of a paper currency collector but curious what "The BIg One" is in the currency world? It obviously will probably depend on the country but I am curious for a note/bill/certificate that COULD very well exist but none are known, at least, in private hands. I am thinking comparable to the US 1849 $20 Gold Piece or the 1964-D Peace Dollar. Edit: Bills/Notes that are speculative to ever of even existed in the first place count.

jtryka Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Probably a series 1934 $100,000 gold certificate, totally real and totally illegal to own privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planman2014 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Probably a series 1934 $100,000 gold certificate, totally real and totally illegal to own privately. All of them are accounted for correct? Any chance that is not accurate? As a coin collector we know the Mint's record keeping can be utter garbage.

jtryka Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, remember that notes are all numbered, but they are usually brought forth in Asia to people who are easily duped by fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheat'swheats Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think the ONE in us paper would be the $1000 Grand Watermelon which was a circulating note. As opposed to the $100,000 gold note which was used for bank to bank transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSdot Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I personally like the high grade Technicolor $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
