The $100 United States Note was issued due to legislation that specified $346,681,016 of United States Notes were to remain in circulation. Because the $2 and $5 United States Notes were soon to be discontinued, the dollar amount of United States Notes would drop, thus warranting the issuing of this note.

These notes were produced between 14 October 1968 and 26 January 1971, and they are the first notes to depict the new Treasury Seal. Only a small number of the Series 1966✩ and 1966 A notes were released to the public. In 1996 it was announced that the $100 United States Notes held in the Treasury had been destroyed.

Less than six months after that, David Kennedy resigned as Secretary of the Treasury and was replaced by John Connally. This created some weirdness in the series dating, because so far only the $1 had been printed with the Kabis-Kennedy signatures, as 1969A. Therefore, the Kabis-Connally signatures were designated 1969B on the $1, but 1969A on the other denominations.

A security thread and microprinting were introduced to deter counterfeiting by advanced copiers and printers. The features first appeared in Series 1990 $100 bills. By Series 1993, the features appeared on all denominations except $1 and $2 bills.

Series 1996 $100 Federal Reserve Notes have a complete redesign. In the first significant design change in 67 years, United States currency was redesigned to incorporate a series of new counterfeit deterrents.

The new design introduces the new universal Federal Reserve Seal and a new serial number format. The serial number features an initial letter "A" followed by the letter designating the Federal Reserve District. Just below the serial number on the left side, the district letter and number are printed.

Prior to the use of star notes, notes were replaced with exact duplicates bearing identical serial numbers. However, as production requirements increased, a more expeditious way of replacing notes became needed. Thus, star notes use began to expedite the replacement process and maintain production schedules.
