favorite "money"

I'd like one of those $10,000 bank notes. Just 10 or 20 of them will do.

I remember seeing a public display of $10,000 notes. It was something that the Treasury had at some financial convention a few years back and its a traveling "money exhibit."

$10,000 notes were only used for bank to bank transactions, and the bills were never in the hands of the public.

How did Benny Binion get 100 of them for his million dollar display?

There is also collection of four $10,000 bills at the ANA money museum in Colorado Springs.

You may be mistaken about that statement.

During my "roadtrip" days, in Biloxi at the MGM, there was a regular elderly gentleman who had a 10K bill he used as a good luck piece, put his chips on top of it. It was wrinkled, torn, pretty rough shape. He used to just carry it in his wallet. Told me his father gave it to him.

I brought him a plexiglass bill protector my next trip. When he took a break from the games, he left it on the table! He was a regular in the $1-1-4-8 Limit Holdem game.

Also, for many years, there were 100 $10K bills displayed at the Horseshoe. Here's the story about the history, origin, and acquisition of the bills, and a picture of the original display.


$10,000 Bills displayed

wasn't Ulysses S. Grant a Union Army general then 18th President of the United States (1869–1877)
and defeated the Confederate military and ended the Confederate States of America
I Don,t understand how he supported the Confederate States or where the bad luck comes from

I saw it on the Internet. It must be true.

Money for Nothing and The Big Money

Yep, I stand corrected. 10K bills were once in circulation. and Benny did have a stash which according to wikipedia was sold??

Grant was BAD LUCK FOR THE CONFEDERATES, making the $50 bill bad luck.
OMG, what is the big deal about? It's a superstition.

welcome Ingnavarro, and yes I wonder the same thing??? I dont understand this and would like more info. I tend to favor the "cab driver" and "race track" explanation.
