ONE AND A HALF MILLION IN $100,000 BILLS!!

I just got back from the largest coin & currency show in the world at Orlando, Florida. The U.S. Treasury had the largest display of currency ever shown to the public. Billions of dollars were displayed with Secret Service and armed guards everywhere. The U.S. Mint & Bureau of Engraving's show director had an officer unlock for a few moments a display of an uncut sheet of $100,000 bills used between Federal Reserve Banks but never circulated amongst the general population. Then the director posed for a photo with his wife holding the money. I happened to be at the right place at the right moment and asked to have my picture taken with the money too. They told me "no" at first, but with persistence before relocking the money in it's glass case, they cleared me for one quick photo. I was the only person they allowed to be photographed with it!! For a moment I held a million and a half dollars in the nation's largest denomination bills ever printed. They bear the picture of President Woodrow Wilson. Other denominations from $10,000, $5000, $1000 and $500 bills were displayed as well as over a billion dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds. What a thrill I had!!
