The 1934 $500 Federal Reserve Note is one of the most iconic and sought-after pieces of U.S. currency. Featuring a bold portrait of President William McKinley on the front, this note embodies the artistry and precision of early 20th-century American paper money. The reverse displays a striking design with the denomination prominently printed, leaving no doubt about its rarity and prestige.
Issued as the last series of $500 bills intended for circulation, the 1934 notes came in both green seal and light green seal varieties, with the latter being far scarcer today. Most surviving examples are from this series, making the 1934 issue highly desirable for collectors.
High-denomination notes like the $500 bill have a rich history dating back to 1792, when they were first introduced to move large sums of money efficiently. Over the decades, their designs evolved, with McKinley’s portrait becoming the hallmark of the final series. Owning one means preserving a piece of America’s financial past.
The $500 bill was never intended for everyday use—it was a tool for financial institutions. By 1969, the Treasury discontinued all high-denomination notes, including the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000, as electronic banking made them obsolete. Today, surviving notes remain prized collectibles of lasting value.
