Counterfeit Cash
•
By the end of the Civil War,
between one-third and one-half
of all U.S. paper currency in
circulation was counterfeit. On
July 5, 1865, the Secret Service
was created under the U.S.
Treasury Department. In less
than a decade, counterfeiting
was sharply reduced. In the
past ten years the breakdown
of denominations counterfeited
has changed dramatically. The
total of known $50 and $100
notes counterfeited has
increased by sixty percent.

Fun Fact
•
The largest note ever printed by
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was the $100,000 Gold
Certificate, Series 1934. These
notes were printed from
December 18, 1934 through
January 9, 1935 and were
issued by the Treasurer of the
United States to Federal
Reserve Banks only against an
equal amount of gold bullion
held by the Treasury. These
notes were used for
transactions between FRBs and
were not circulated among the
general public.
