Oversized Five Hundred Dollar Bills – A Guide With Values
As you might expect, large size $500 bills are very scarce. The only ones that could be considered collectible are 1918 $500 Federal Reserve notes, 1922 gold certificates, and some gold certificates from the 1882 series. Everything else will cost you between $10,000 and two million dollars, with most scarce examples being in the $50,000 range. The reason oversized five hundred dollar bills are scarce today is due to the fact that so few were printed and they were almost impossible to save purely for the curiosity factor. Someone could find a dollar coin or a five dollar bill and it was possible to tuck it away because it looked different. 99% of the general public was never in a situation that required handling a five hundred dollar bill. Because most were redeemed and destroyed, they are very rare today.
