Questions of this sort come up often. The short answer is no, not at all. Any huge-denomination "bill" you see is a privately printed novelty item that sells for a couple of bucks in a card or gift shop.
Specifically:
> The highest-denomination US bill is currently $100.
> The highest denomination printed for general use was $10,000
> The highest denomination EVER printed was $100,000; these were used only by the Federal Reserve Bank.
> JFK has never been pictured on any US bill, only on half-dollars and presidential $1 coins.
All half-dollars minted from 1964 to the present bear an image of John F Kennedy.
There was no official dollar bill or coin with JFK's image. The only US Mint issue from 1967 with his picture would be a half-dollar.
All Kennedy halves have the same design. Obviously JFK's image is on the obverse side. The reverse side has a stylized version of the Presidential Seal.
The only denomination struck for circulation bearing JFK's image is the half dollar, not a dollar, as can be seen on the coin's reverse where it says "Half Dollar". Unless the coin is a proof or uncirculated, all halves from 1971 and later are standard cupronickel clad coins and are only worth face value.
Prior to 1948, the image of Lady Liberty was on the half dollar. In 1948 the newly designed half dollar depicted Benjamin Franklin. This design was used until 1964 when John F. Kennedy appeared on the coin and continues today.John F. Kennedy, thirty fifth president of the United States, 1960-1963.
Literally nothing. It's a novelty.

The dollar bill is the original and basic note of money used in the US. The first actual dollar bill was issued in 1862 with an image of the then Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase.
No Such CoinThere are no such coins, except perhaps as counterfeits or reproductions (and there are none of the latter of which I'm aware), or perhaps as a coin issued by another country, or a medallion. The half-dollar coin bore the image of John F. Kennedy in 1964, which was also the last year it was made of 90% silver. From 1965 to 1970, the Kennedy half-dollar was "silver clad," or roughly 40% silver overall.
Most likely the image you see on your penny is John F. Kennedy. These Lincoln/Kennedy novelty items were popular advertising items back in the 70's. This is not something done at the Mint. Somebody took a stamp and manually counterstamped Kennedy's image onto the penny after it left the mint. These novelty items generally sell for about a dollar. Dan

The depiction of the clock on Independence Hall set at 3 o'clock on the reverse of the Bicentennial Kennedy half dollar is a design choice. It is not meant to represent a specific historical time but rather to create a visually balanced and aesthetically pleasing image for the coin's design.
It's either not JFK, or not a quarter.Washington is on the quarter. A 1967 quarter is worth 25 cents.JFK is on the half dollar. A 1967 half still had some silver in it (40%) and is worth about $3.00 as of 04/2009.
