While on a two-week audit of the Las Vegas division of Centel*, I saw 100 $10,000 bills (one million dollars) on display at the Horseshoe casino in downtown Las Vegas. They were sandwiched between large panels of very thick Lucite type material securely anchored to the floor. There was an armed guard present at all times.The new look, aimed at thwarting counterfeiters, has several new security features, including a “3-D Security Ribbon” and an image of a bell on the front of the note that, when tilted, changes in color from copper to green. The reverse side of the bill includes a new vignette of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
The $100 bill is the largest denomination note printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a division of the Treasury. Larger denominations such as $500, $1,000 and higher value bills are no longer issued but remain in circulation, especially among collectors.
Link*Centel was later sold to Sprint, then spun off as Emparq and is now CenturyLink.
