no one saw any because they were never in circulation
today they would be worth 2.3M

It's a gold certificate, it's worth 100,000 dollars in gold, they were used for inter-bank transfers, gold was worth $35 an ounce back in 1934, if bank A owed bank B a ton of money due to some big purchase, (bank B owned a big building, and some customer from bank A bought it) they would send one (or more) of these notes to bank B, it was easier then transporting 2857 ounces of gold or bags of $100 dollar bills.

My Uncle was a banker, he showed me a $50,000 bill, (Wilson on it again) he explained why they had such big bills, this was before the use of wire transfers.

Due to inflation and the devalued dollar, they are thinking of starting to use $500 dollar bills, as a 100 bucks doesn't go very far now days.

1/2 a cart of grocery's, maybe a tank of gas.
