The US only 42,000 $100,000 for internal government use. They were never circulated and it's illegal to own one privately, so it's impossible to determine a collector value. All but a couple of them were later destroyed. One sample is in the Smithsonian.

OTOH, the bills were gold certificates so in purchasing power they would be worth ~4.6 million dollars if converted to gold in 1934 and sold at today's gold price.

4654830.1329394387$ = (100,000$ / 33.85$ (1934 gold price)) = 2954.20974 oz * 1575.73$ (current gold price 17 may 2012)
