Platinum Certificates

These notes are more commonly referred to as "Million Dollar Special
Issue Notes" or "Platinum Certificates." They are non-negotiable
collectable notes from a special limited copyrighted art series that
were originally sold by a firm in Canada for $1.00 each. Such items
have no value to the United States government and are not redeemable
by the Department of the Treasury since they are not products of this
government. In addition, the Department of the Treasury has no
interest in recalling any limited art series product manufactured by
private concerns.

Did the Treasury Department ever produce a $1 million currency note?
I have one that I want to know about.

We receive many inquiries asking if the Treasury Department ever
produced a $1 million currency note. People have sent in copies of
these notes. We have found that they are nonnegotiable platinum
certificates known as a "One Million Dollar Special Issue." These
notes were from a special limited copyrighted art series originally
sold by a Canadian firm for $1.00 each as a collectible item. They are
not official United States currency notes manufactured by our Bureau
of Engraving and Printing (BEP). As such, they are not redeemable by
the Department of the Treasury.

You may be interested to know that the BEP learned of these
certificates in the spring of 1982. All related correspondence was
forwarded to the United States Secret Service to decide if there were
any violations of Federal currency laws. The Secret Service
subsequently advised, however, that these certificates did not violate
any United States law.
