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. You can read this at (http://www.moneyfactory.com/document.cfm/5/44/122) There is another site(http://www.ustreas.gov/education/faq...minations.html) 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. Yezid Acosta http://www.Notofilia.com ) wrote in message om...
