What is the value of a 10000 dollar bill hologram?

Answer 1

While the US did issue a 10,000 bill until the 1940s, it contained no hologram. Thus any 10,000 bill with a hologram is a fantasy issue and is not collected by paper money collectors except as a curiosity and naturally is not legal tender. So perhaps a few bucks at most as a curiosity.

Answer:

The holographic $10,000 bill has a decent value due to its rarity. It was created by a holographic design company in PA. They originally intended it to be a gag gift but Sharper image purchased 1600 of them and placed them in a catalog, shortly thereafter they ordered another 20,000. However the entire thing ran afoul of an 1895 law that made it illegal to reproduce a bill. The law stated they had to be 75% smaller or 150% larger and in B/W, the hologram did not fit these criteria since holograms must be in color and at a one to one scale. The feds, even while admitting there was no possible way to use the hologram, had to follow the law and ordered the remaining stock destroyed. One can assume there was a bare minimum of 2000 of these sold or distributed. The prices seem to be around $250 with some being offered for much higher.
