I edited this article to insert commas in "$1,000" and "$5,000" for consistency with "$10,000". This has now been reverted by 636Buster, stating: "the reason those notes are printed without commas is because they aren't printed so on the note."
Wikipedia has its own style guide that we follow, irrespective of what the Federal Reserve may print on banknotes, so we are not bound to follow their style. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Delimiting (grouping of digits) currently says:
So even if the banknotes read "$10000" without a comma, Wikipedia's style guide requires it ("$10,000"). There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Comma delimiting for four-digit numbers proposing to amend the second point to read:
Feel free to comment on the proposal there. — sroc 💬 14:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
I have moved some of the images around. The sections beginning with Production and distribution appear to be describing the small-size FRN of 1928 and later (or even more of the present day issue).
I reworked and inserted the existing 1914 type set (adding the four high denomination 1918 notes in the process). This was added between the section titled Value and the section on Production and distribution to serve as a more chronological bridge between the first (and only) large size FRN issues and the notes of today. Will add more information to the table.- Godot13 ( talk) 18:51, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
"The popularity of the Saturday Night Live skit "Lazy Sunday" has led to $10 notes sometimes being referred to as "Hamiltons". " I recall hearing them called Hamiltons DECADES before that SNL skit. -- Khajidha ( talk) 10:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
So where's the info on the current paper money? That seems like important info. 108.203.78.77 ( talk) 06:42, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
What does this even mean? It's in the opening paragraph. -- Rebroad ( talk) 14:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

A couple of days ago, an addition to the article was made suggesting that there had been a $100 million FRN "special wartime issue" had been made. I reverted the change because I've never seen any evidence that this actually happened, other than some laughably bad forgeries. 2607:fb90:6050:28d:0:40:748c:6201, who made the original addition reverted my change without explanation. I've left a note on his talk page asking if he's got any evidence, but I haven't heard back. I wanted to get consensus on this rather than engaging in an edit war.

I don't get it; the article on United States Notes seems to imply they were printed until 1971, where they were replaced by Federal Reserve Notes. But according to this article, FRNs were being issued as early as 1914. Were they both issued concurrently? And what was the difference between the two? It ought to make this a little clearer, because I don't understand it at all.
