• The $5,000 bill featured a portrait of James Madison
• The $10,000 bill featured a portrait of Salmon P. Chase
• The $100,000 bill featured a portrait of Woodrow Wilson

For the most part, these bills were used by banks and the Federal Government for large financial transactions. This was especially true for gold certificates from 1865 to 1934.
