Best Answer

US Notes were discontinued in 1966. These bills were a parallel series to Federal Reserve Notes and served no distinct purpose, so the Treasury decided it would be more economical to simply issue one type of currency.

US Notes are distinguishable by their red ink. In reality, most of them were issued as higher denominations - the last $1 US Note was dated 1928. $5 ones were printed up through the 1963 series and $100 bills up through 1966.

What US dollar denomination was discontinued in 1966?

No denomination of coin or bill was discontinued in 1966. You may be thinking of the printing of United States Notes, which were a form of currency that circulated along with Federal Reserve Notes. US Notes were distinctive because their seals and serial numbers were printed in red ink, rather than green. They were printed in much smaller numbers than FRN's and served the same purpose, so they were discontinued as a cost-saving measure effective with the 1966 series of $100 bills.
