Only one is known and that is in the Smithsonian. The notes are actually illegal to own in a private collection so there are none reported in any private collection.

correction: I saw mention of ten of these being displayed in Las Vegas as $1,000,000, so I doubt the Smithsonian has the only one. As yet have found nothing firm on how many might exist.

I saw this display in Binion' Casino. They are $10,000 bills and there were 100 of them. However, when the owner died and the children took over these bills were split up.

$100,000 bills were only used for inter bank transactions. They were unavailable to the public.

THE FINAL WORD

The question is about $100,000 bills, not $10,000 or $1,000,000. According to the Treasury approximately 42,000 $100,000 gold certificates were printed in late 1934 and early 1935. Gold certificates were no longer in circulation and as noted these new bills were only used for transactions within the Federal Reserve System.

When it no longer was necessary to transfer funds in physical form, all but a tiny number of these gold certificates were destroyed. Various sources state either 1 or more likely 3 were preserved, including the one on display at the Smithsonian.
