The Largest Us Bill Ever Printed

The Highest Denomination U.S. Bill Ever Printed

By Elton Camp

If on Jeopardy! this question should arise,
The correct answer might be quite a surprise
“What’s a hundred dollar bill? will be wrong
To a larger bill that distinction does belong

Only 42,000 of them actually came to print
And for public circulation were never meant
It was in the 1960s that they quit being made
Outside government use, they were forbade

And only a few still in existence still do remain
A sample certain government agencies did retain
Realize that all 42,000 have been accounted for 
Despite Internet claims, there simply are no more

Reports recur that more of them have been located
“We have a certificate of authenticity” is stated
They are nothing but cheaply-made counterfeit
It’s a scam and they aren’t worth the tiniest bit
