Quothe the Guinness Book of World Records (1987 edition), Highest
Denomination Currency:	
	The highest denomination notes in circulation are US Federal Reserve
	Bank notes for $10,000.  They bear the head of Salmon Portland Chase
	(1808-73), Secretary of the Treasury during Civil War days.  None
	have been printed since July 1944 and the US Treasury announced in
	1969 that no further notes higher than $100 would be issued.  Only
	348 of the $10,000 bills remain in circulation.

With only 348 left I imagine they are worth a lot more to collectors than
to the Federal Reserve.  Anyone know what the going rate for a $10,000
bill is?
