The rare note from 1934 features the image of Salmon P. Chase, the Treasury Secretary of then-President Abraham Lincoln. It has topped the auction by a record-breaking selling price, and on the sale of this rare note, Heritage Auctions Vice President Dustin Johnston said that notes of large denominations always attract collectors of all levels.
This note has broken the record of the previous highest-selling note, which was also $10,000 from 1934 and was auctioned in September 2020 for $384,000. The particular note auctioned for $480,000 had never been in circulation. The $10,000 bill was the highest currency denomination notes to be circulation and is used to transfer funds with the Federal Reserve Banks. However, because of the lack of the use of this note in the general public, these bills were discontinued in 1969. And since then, the higher denomination notes circulating in the US are $100.
