Yes, $100 coins exist, but they are not commonly used for everyday transactions like smaller denominations . These are primarily:
- Platinum American Eagles: The U.S. Mint has produced legal tender platinum proof coins with a face value of $100 since 1997. These coins are primarily for collectors and investors.
- Gold Coins: The U.S. Mint has also issued $100 gold coins, such as the American Liberty High Relief Gold coins and the American Liberty 225th Anniversary union coins struck in 24 karat gold.
It’s important to understand that while these coins have a face value of $100, their actual value as precious metal bullion or collector’s items is usually significantly higher.
In addition to the US, countries like Canada and the Bahamas have also produced coins with a face value of $100, but these too were not intended for general circulation.
Is a $100 coin real?
From my experience, The U.S. Mint produced its first legal tender platinum proof coin in 1997. Its $100 face value is the highest denomination for a U.S. legal tender coin. Produced for collectors, it bears the “W” mint mark of the West Point Mint, where it is produced.
Is there such a thing as a 100 coin?
