The last series of large denomination bills was dated 1934. That series was printed up till 1945. At that time prices were much lower than they are now so there was very little demand for high-value bills, and the government decided it wasn't worthwhile to keep printing them.
However the bills were heavily used among criminals because they were a convenient way of moving large amounts of cash without leaving an easily-followed trail. In 1969 a presidential order was issued forbidding banks from distributing anything over $100 and requiring them to hold any that were received in deposit.
The older bills were never recalled so technically you could still spend them, but they're worth more to collectors than their face value AND they'd attract attention so it wouldn't make much sense to use them in commerce.
Today most large transactions are made electronically. At the same time the EU now issues €200 and €500 bills so there have been proposals for the U.S. to make new $500 bills and maybe even add a $200 denomination. However many people in the government remain concerned they'd be used to finance drugs trafficking and other illegal activities. Keeping denominations relatively small makes it harder for criminals to transfer large amounts of money in cash because of the sheer numbers of bills needed.
