Best Answer

The Treasury never officially invalidated any high-denomination bills even though they haven't been printed since 1945. That means they're technically still valid for making a purchase, but it wouldn't be a very good idea for at least two reasons:

First, most people have never seen one and it could cause a lot of problems for any store where you tried to spend it

Second and more importantly, nearly all high-denomination bills are worth a lot more to collectors so you could get more value by selling it instead of spending it.

How many US 1000 dollar bills are in circulation?

None. There is no American 1000 dollar bill. Unless it is a fake.CorrectionEssentially none. Up till 1945 the US printed bills with values up to $10,000. The last series carried a 1934 date however. In 1969 all further distribution of high-denomination bills was suspended because they were being used to "launder" criminal activities. In addition banks were (and still are) required to send back to the Treasury any such bills that they receive in deposit. Because of that, effectively all high-value bills are long gone from circulation.

How thick is a 100000 US Dollars in 100 dollars bill?

4.3 inches, most heist movies make it seem like it would fill up a briefcase and such but it doesn't. In 20 dollar bills it is 21.5 inches, in 10 dollar bills it is 43 inches, in 5 dollar bills it is 86 inches, and in 1 dollar bills it is 430 inches. A dollar bill is .0043 inches so in turn to make a stack a mile long it would takeover 14 million bills.
