All small size $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 notes were printed only in the 1928, 1934, 1934 A, 1934 B, or 1934 C series. Although all these High Denomination notes are rare, the 34 B and 34 C series are extremely rare with none having been seen. The 1928 series were "Redeemable in Gold on demand." The 1934 A, B and C series were the last High Denomination notes printed in 1945. On July 14, 1969 the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve system announced that due to lack of use, the High Denomination notes would be discontinued immediately. All High Denomination notes that are turned into banks are forwarded to the Federal Reserve and destroyed.

The 1928 Gold Certificated is of related design and is No. 76. in the top 100 Greatest American Currency Notes. Without particular regard to the series, collectors eagerly seek these bills, last printed in 1940s. Thousands of examples exist, making them a stock-in-trade item for paper money dealers. Ever once in a while a cache comes on the market from some long-hidden private stash, or from overseas. In the late 1990s, a group of nearly 2000 notes, mostly in grades of VF and EF, was offered, said to have been found in Russia. Early in the 21st century a holding of 100 notes, mostly About Uncirculated, was sold ( some were improved and later marketed as choice Uncirculated examples). The various series can be collected by Federal Reserve Bank locations, but only the Series of 1928 is complete with all 12 banks: Boston (letter A designation), consecutively through New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco, the last using the letter L. Generally, the Federal Reserve districts with lower populations issued fewer notes. Accordingly, bills imprinted Boston, New York, Philadelphia, or Chicago are likely to be more available than those from Atlanta and Minneapolis. Although these high denomination notes were available to anyone who wanted them, they were not, as a matter of practice, to be found in ordinary circulation. They were held mainly by banks and clearing houses and were used to settle large cash balances.

This disastrous event took the lives of 2,409 people and left 1,178 wounded (of which 1,177 lost lives were aboard the USS Arizona). In fear of additional attacks on Hawaii and other areas (Philippines, etc..) the U.S. Government authorized the Treasury Dept. to print Emergency currency for the Hawaii Territory. What would otherwise appear as normal everyday currency had the overprint of the word HAWAII on the reverse of the notes and also in black ink on each end of the obverse. Also, each note was overprinted in brown ink (seal) as oppose to the normal blue inks.
