The first $1,000 banknotes were issued in 1861 as Interest Bearing Notes. Those notes were similar to war bonds and bore a 3 year rate of 7.3% to help finance the United States Civil War. 1862 brought the first $1,000 United States Note, also known as Legal Tender. These notes provided the means of supporting the union's war effort as they could be used to pay all debts, public and private. In 1863 came the first $1000 Gold Certificate, which represented gold physically held in the Treasury to assure the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. To continue financing the Civil War effort, 1864 brought the first $1000 Compound Interest Treasury Note which bore a 3 year rate of 6%. Few interest bearing notes from these years remain and are very rare. With the Specie Payment Resumption Act of 1875, Gold Certificates were once again issued to restore the Nation to the gold standard. 1878 brought the very first $1000 Silver Certificate. These certificates were guaranteed redeemable for their face value in silver dollar coins. In 1890 came the first $1000 Treasury Note. Treasury Notes were issued to individuals who sold silver bullion to the U.S. Treasury. The intent of the Treasury was to increase the nations bullion reserves. 1918 would bring the first $1000 Federal Reserve Notes. The 1928 and 1934 series $1000 Federal Reserve Notes would follow, and are the most commonly available to collectors today. Most early one thousand dollar bills are scarce to very rare. The face of former President Grover Cleveland is featured on the last two series years of these notes.
