Since 1969, $100 has been the highest-value bill officially in circulation.

Before that the US printed $500, $1000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills for circulation. A limited number of $100,000 bills were also printed for use inside the Federal Reserve System but were never circulated. In an effort to thwart the use of high-value bills by organized criminals, President Nixon issued an executive order in 1969 suspending printing and distribution of all bills above $100.
