I found a gold certicate in a drawer when I was a teenager. I've forgotten the denomination. I think it might have a one-dollar one.

God's sake, man; post a link. Thanks much.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Here is the wiki page on it... They come in 50s, hundreds, and even 100,000 denominations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_certificate Interesting side note.... It is illegal to privately own some of this money From link """1934: similar to above, gold back, for bank use only to settle gold balances. "As authorized by law" replaced "in gold coin" in the promise to pay. Still not legal to privately own.""" One would think the corporate ownership of america would/should be obvious to all.
A 1922 Gold Certificate for $10, with the portrait of Michael Hillegas, first treasurer of the United States. The reverse of this bill was a rendering of the face of the Great Seal (the eagle). There never was a $1 Gold Certificates, $10 was the smallest denomination ever issued for Gold Certificates, although there was a $5 National Gold Bank Note issued 1870-73 by various National Banks in California.
Maybe I had a one-dollar silver certificate. I don't remember. I do remember it said "Treasury Note" and not Federal Reserver Bank, and that it was pretty old.
