History



The first $100 note issued by the country was known as a United States Note and was released in 1862 with the vignette of a spread eagle on its perch. From 1869 until the end of United States Note program, the US Mint used a portrait of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, on the obverse of its $100 notes. The modern Federal Reserve note in this denomination was first issued in 1914 in the standard size all American currency now offers with an effigy of Benjamin Franklin on the note.
