The image of the Statue of Liberty has been used on American bills and coins.  The following bill is false, since the largest U.S. bills ever 'officially' minted were $100,000 gold certificates that were used for transfers only among the Federal Reserve Banks.  This one is supposedly a nonnegotiable platinum certificate that was printed by a Canadian firm.  Today's largest denomination is $100; the larger bills of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 were taken out of circulation during World War II.
