    I know this has been discussed in the past, but I am drawing a blank on what the explanation was. Hopefully someone will chime in.

    Try searching for articles on SPMC.



    I'm guessing, low demand, and existing stock was still available to issue if needed.

    I've seen them twice in concert. Most recently, nine inch nails opened up for them which was pretty wild!

    How many people these days know about Thomas Hart Benton? http://www.businessinsider.com...enton-100-bill-2013-10
  • I love the "bullion benton" story!
    Excuse me if I got the question wrong here, but the idea is why the 1882 GC designs survived into 1922 for $100 and $500 but not the others?
    I think this is one of those case by case things like solving the four color map problem.
    The tens didn't exist in 1882.
    The twenties were redesigned at the encouragement of the bull moose, who also asked that the twenty gold coin be redesigned.
    The fifites and 1000's picked up the FRN designs before the FRN's came out, but the two changed at different times.
    No large 5k and 10k were issued after 1919.
    I really love this chart: http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/chron_l.html

    But it does kinda feel that "just because" is not off the mark ...
