The highest mountain peak in North America is currently called Denali but was previously named Mount McKinley after the former president. To the right of the portrait, you will find the Treasury seal in green ink. You will also find in green ink the serial number on both sides of the portrait.

Reverse

The reverse of these Federal Reserve Notes contains denomination details. In each corner of the note, the denomination is depicted numerically. It is also shown in this form along the sides and in the center of the note. The reverse also features elegant designs across the edges and in the center. Lastly, you will find text reading United States of America, Five Hundred Dollars.

History

While current Federal Reserve note denominations do not exceed $100, the previous series in this program reached as high as $10,000. These large denominations began in Series 1918 and continued in 1928 when the small-size notes were introduced. The denominations ranged from $500 to $10000 and appeared again in Series 1934 before being discontinued. Today, these large denomination notes are still considered legal tender but are mainly valued as collectors items.
