According to Yahoo's news, this brief bio explains this legal tender:
A rare $10,000 bill similar to this one provided by the US Treasury is getting a new home. The bill _ one of 15 large-denomination bills at a Chase Bank branch in Green Bay _ was shipped to the bank's corporate archives in New York for safe keeping. The $10,000 bill bears the likeness of Salmon P. Chase, for whom the bank was named. Chase was a U.S. senator who served as treasury secretary under President Lincoln.
