Money.............everywhere




 World's Largest Gold Bar

The Mitsubishi Materials Corporation of Japan poured the World's largest Gold bar.

The bar is 17.9 inches by 8.9 inches and 6.7 inches high.

All though it takes up the same amount of space as a large shoe box, 

you would not be able to lift it as It weighs 551.15 pounds. 

At the time it was poured it was worth $3.7 million.




 $10,000 Dollar Bill

Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money to and from banks and was never issued to the public. They also produced a $500, $1,000, $5,000 and even a $100,000 dollar note, see below. They were last printed in 1945 and have since been discontinued.





 $100,000 Dollar Note

This is the 1934 $100,000 dollar note. It featured

Dress Made With $100,000 Dollars
