Step back into a pivotal moment in American currency history with the 1966 $100 United States Red Seal Note—the final $100 legal tender note ever issued by the U.S. Treasury. As the last of its kind, this note represents the closing chapter of the iconic United States Notes, a series once backed directly by the federal government rather than the Federal Reserve. With only 768,000 notes printed, this issue is exceptionally scarce, making it a true prize for collectors and historians alike.

Cataloged as Friedberg #1550, this note is an essential piece for those seeking to own a tangible fragment of monetary evolution.
Each note is housed in a protective plastic sleeve and offered in Very Fine condition, though natural signs of age and circulation—such as light folds, stains, or rough edges—may be present. These imperfections only serve to underscore its authenticity and journey through time.
Whether you're a seasoned numismatist or a new collector drawn to pieces with rich backstories, the 1966 $100 Red Seal Note stands as a remarkable blend of rarity, artistry, and historical weight—a true legacy printed on paper.
