    It's not real. Nothing that large was every circulated. So, it's worth nothing.

    It's a worthless copy. Do you know how I knew? Because you did not pay $100,000 for it. Now, who's going to give you a bill at less than the face value unless it's a fake?
    Many people told me they found it somewhere or inherited from some relative. Believe me there are only 2-3 genuine notes exist and they are all in the museum. The rest were destroyed.

    It is worthless (even if it is real, which I am sure it isn't.) Executive Order 6102 of 1933 as well as the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 criminalize the holding of monetary gold, gold bullion as well as gold certificates and further prohibits the redemption or sale of such certificates. Though these restrictions have since been relaxed, 31 USC 5118(d)(2) still prohibits the redemption of certificates issued prior to October 1977.

    I would almost bet that you have a reproduction. The 100,000 gold certificate was never in general circulation. :)

    I would recommend taking it to a well trusted location with a witnes that you are related to to authenticate, and definately get about five oppionions, especially if someone makes a low offer. I saw a gold certificate sell online recently in a $1,000 denomination for 13,500, so if you do the math, 1000 x 100 = 100,000, so 13,500 x 100 = 1,350,000. Basically you have a bill that should be authenticated and sold immediately, because once anyone finds out that you have a piece of paper that doesn't require any signatures that's worth over a million dollars in your possesion... yeah, about that. So get cash for it as soon as possible.

    It could be worth anywhere from a couple of bucks (as a curiosity item...as long as it is clearly marked 'void' to discourage counterfitting charges) or, if it is authentic (?)...to maybe a million...(but, you couldn't afford to sell in an open market unless you want to go through a ton of conspirity trials...ending up with the tresury department confiscating it, because you are not allowed, by law, to have it...or cuffing you and confiscating it, depending if your some sort of wise guy or something). Does that help you? Cute question, though. I think I've heard only one other time of someones saying they laid their hands on one of these golden beauties by somebody up in Manhattan...(is that youse?)

    I have come across one also, found buried back in the 50's with multiple denominations. They were locked in a box and was found in another country. I know everyone says they were all destroyed, but how does anyone know, just because the government says? Is it not possible seeing these were used for inter country money exchanges also that maybe some were misplaced. back in the days they did not have the accurate tracking they have now, so could they be real, I say it is a possiblility.

    However dogfound they never made a 1934 gold certificate. Only in 1928 did they make a gold certificate for the $10,000 bill.

    I just want to know why it would be illegal to carry one of these $100,000 gold certificates. Can the federal reserve not back it up?

    It should be worth of more than 1.6 mil today. Believe it or not, I just sold my 100,000 (3 pcs) gold certs for 3 mil last year. Just my luck.

    mrblanche, not sure where you get your info but I really think you might wanna research things before you post on here! Actually there was a $10,000 and a $5,000 note that was printed. After 1934 they stopped publication of bills larger then $100. Here is a link that tells about it. http://www.oldcurrencyvalues.com/10000_Dollar_Bill.html

    The bills are actually worth some money.
