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
