Whose picture was on the 100,000 dollar bill?

Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921 and leader of the Progressive Movement. A Southerner with a PhD in political science, he served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910. He was Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913, and led his Democratic Party to win control of both the White House and Congress in 1912.

The largest denomination of U.S. currency ever printed, the $100,000 bill bears Wilson's portrait (meant for use only among Federal Reserve Banks).

Fairly simple, his name is right there under his picture on the bill.

George Oliver Prince

Doubt you could have given us more of a clue

Johnny Rock

His name under the emblem (the picture too) gave it away.

One does have to wonder if the League of Nations had been more readily accepted world history might be different...

fdeisner, I'm surprised he hasn't already. I was sure he would in his first year.

I can attribute my good reader glasses for the answer to this one. Without the magnification I would not have gotten the correct answer. Yay me.

Now THAT was a tough question!

I never understood the purpose of having a $100,000 bill in an era where take home pay was about $75 a week l

Large numbers of people, including many Americans under 60 years old, have no idea who Woodrow Wilson was, let alone what he looked like.
