Interest bearing treasury notes came in many denomination, with the one hundred dollar denomination being the third-lowest. In the late 1800s these old bills traded hands frequently, so most known examples are heavily worn.

Remember, this was during a time in U.S. history when the state of the nation during the Civil war was in crisis, anyone who didn’t redeem these bills for their interest at the time was either supremely confident or extremely ignorant. This fact alone is why there are so few interest bearing notes known to exist.
