Description:  This is the highest denomination from the rainbow series that can be considered collectible.  $500 and $1,000 notes were printed and are known to exist.  However, they are much too expensive for the average collector to buy.  The 1869 $100 bill as shown below is far from cheap, most examples start at high four figures.  This is the first year that saw the Abraham Lincoln and architecture design.

All legal tender notes from 1869 are called rainbow notes by collectors.  Each note has a red serial number than ends with a star symbol.  If you have an 1869 one hundred dollar legal tender, then tell us about it!
