On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945. These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today; however, most notes still in circulation are probably in the hands of private numismatic dealers and collectors. If you are interested in purchasing these larger denominations, it is suggested that you contact private dealers or collectors who are usually listed in the classified section of the telephone directory under the headings of "Coins" and "Hobbies." ** Fractional Currency notes were issued August 21, 1862 through February 15, 1876. During the civil war, many people were hoarding coins and in some instances, melting them because the value of the metals was more than the face value. As a result, people were using postage stamps for change because of the massive shortage of coins. To deal with this problem, President Lincoln and Congress approved the Postage Currency Act July 17, 1862, which authorized the issue of 5, 10, 25, and 50 cent notes. The 1st Issues became known as Postage Stamp Currency. Postage Currency (1st Issue) were never legal tender but could be exchanged for United States Notes in $5 lots and receivable in payment of all dues to the United States, up to $5.
