The 1934 $500 Federal Reserve Note, initially introduced in 1918 and last redesigned in 1934, features a portrait of President William McKinley on the obverse, replacing John Marshall from the original design. This high-denomination currency was used primarily in banking transactions and circulated until its discontinuation in 1969. The note includes a green Treasury seal, green serial numbers, and the $500 denomination marked prominently in all corners and on the reverse. Of the original 214,800 printed, an estimated 75,000 remain, making it a rare and collectible piece of U.S. currency with historical significance.
