Once an important denomination for high-value banking transactions, the $500 bill has long since disappeared from everyday circulation, making surviving examples highly sought after by collectors. Alongside the $1,000 note, it represents a fascinating chapter in American financial history when denominations far exceeding today's $100 bill were regularly issued.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"4\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003eIssued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, this example features the Julian-Morgenthau signature combination and the desirable dark green seal variety.
