 The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces 35 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $635 million.  During the Civil War period, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was called upon to print paper notes in denominations of 3 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, and 50 cents. The reason for this is that people hoarded coins because of their intrinsic value which created a drastic shortage of circulating coins.  If you had 10 billion $1 notes and spent one every second of every day, it would require 317 years for you to go broke.  The 100 dollar note has been the largest denomination of currency in circulation since 1969.

 The origin of the "$" sign has been variously accounted for, however, the most widely accepted explanation is that the symbol is the result of evolution, independently in different places, of the Mexican or Spanish "P's" for pesos, or pieces. The theory, derived from a study of old manuscripts, is that the "S" gradually came to be written over the "P," developing a close equivalent of the "$" mark. It was widely used before the adoption of the United States dollar in 1785.
