The first $5,000 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. Later in 1863 came the first $5000 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 $5000 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. 1918 brought the first $5000 Federal Reserve Notes. The 1928 and 1934 series Federal Reserve Notes would follow. Most $5000 Federal Reserve Notes were used between banks, but were also available to the public as legal tender. Few were put into circulation. All $5000 dollar bills are scarce to very rare. The face of former President James Madison is featured on the last two series years of these notes.
