All denominations of large size Federal Reserve notes were issued from 5 to 10,000 Dollars. The notes from 5 to 100 Dollars are series of 1914, those from 500 to 10,000 Dollars are series of 1918.

The Federal Reserve Notes were issued by the United States to all twelve Federal Reserve Banks and through them to the member banks and the public. The notes were not issued by the banks themselves (as were the Federal Reserve Bank Notes) and the obligations to pay the bearer is borne by the government, and not by the banks. Hence, these notes were not secured by United States bonds or other securities. (In practice, they were secured, but the nature of the security is not certified on the notes).
