It is one of just eight surviving 1934 Kansas City $10,000s, serial number 562 of only 1,200 examples originally printed. This was the smallest print run by any U.S. Mint district for this series.<br><br>\n\nIn 1928, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) reduced the size of United States banknotes to the current \u201csmall size\u201d of 156mm by 66mm in order to save money on printing costs. This colorful note\u2019s shocking face value of $10,000 makes it especially desirable among collectors. Notes of this denomination were printed only for exchange between banks.
