Description:  All series of 1878 United States notes have been redeemed and destroyed by the government.  However, there are still a lot of fakes floating around.  Most fake notes are sold today and have been sold for years as book marks.  They have the following symptoms:

-no serial number, A000000 as the serial number, or an X’d out serial number
-the bills are laminated
-they are smaller than paper money is today
-they are black and white

If what you have is in color like seen below, then you have reprint.  Long story short, there are no authentic 1878 $10,000 bills in circulation today.

Variations:  All series of 1878 $10,000 bills were signed by Scofield and Gilfillan.  They all had large brown seals
