Fox Pillar of the Community 708 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 03:18 am Poll Question My favorite design is the $500 bill's reverse, however, its a tough call between the $500 and the $10,000 because, can you imagine carrying around ONE piece of paper in your wallet worth $10,000, or finding a strap of $1,000,000, or a brick of $10,000,000?! And since we normal people didn't even get to so much as "breathe on a $100,000 bill, and I don't really like the design, or "Orangebacks" as much as I like the "Greenbacks" Okay, I choose the $500 bill because I love its reverse. I'm going by artwork here. Not value, or I'd pick the $10,000 bill. Poll Choices $500 $1,000 $5,000 $10,000 $100,000 (if it counts) Report this Post to the Staff

Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 05:01 am Fox, I am assuming we are choosing from the 1934 FRN series? Otherwise if older series are included it gets very complicated and I'd be unable to choose a favorite since the large size-large denom. greenbacks are some of the most beautiful depictions ever. However, out of the 1934 series, I'd go with the $1000 bill. The United states of america and one thousand dollars text is stunning and I love the beautiful rich green border around the white interior. As for the MOST stunning greenback design ever? It's a tough call between the 1875 $500 National bank note, the F-212g Interest bearing $1000 note from 1861 and of course the 1890 $1000 Grand Watermelon. I'd be shaking wild if I ever got to hold one of those above mentioned notes in person. Can't even imagine owning one of those, would cost in the millions. Report this Post to the Staff

Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 1:37 pm Actually since my above mentioned favorite notes are practically impossible to acquire. Realistically the 1918 $1000 FRN note with the Eagle and the numbers "1000" on each side is the one top of my dream list. Now the only issue is getting 30,000 dollars to spend on one of these.
