No. Production of high-denomination ($500 and above) US bills ended in 1945 due to low demand. Banks were permitted to distribute the bills until 1969, when President Nixon issued an order ending distribution. The move was a step in fighting organized crime which favored high-value bills for moving large amounts of money undetected.
The bills were never demonetized or specifically recalled. (In fact, the US has never demonetized any bills issued in the 20th century, and only gold certificates were withdrawn.) Very few were in circulation anyway and banks were instructed to send any they received back to the Treasury, so they were effectively removed from circulation without being recalled.
Despite inflation, new high-value bills are unlikely to be printed due to the use of electronic funds transfers for legitimate purchases, as well as concerns over their use in terrorist financing.
