Today in 1856: Woodrow Wilson, 28th president, is born. This $100,000 note was the highest denomination ever issued by the United States and it includes a portrait of President Wilson. During the early 1930s, the worlds economies experienced a depression. In 1934, the U.S. continued its movement toward removing its currency from the gold standard. The Gold Certificate Series of 1934 poses a slight puzzle since the United States was off the gold standard by 1934. The $100,000 note shown here was not intended for general circulation but was used as an accounting device between branches of the Federal Reserve.
