Best Answer

The US 500 dollar bill is no longer in circulation. The last bills were printed in 1945, although all were dated 1934. The bills never circulated much because their purchasing power was very high at the time, equivalent to a few thousand dollars today. However they did very occasionally show up in circulation into the early 1960s.

They've never been officially withdrawn from circulation but a presidential order of July 1969 discontinued their distribution so today it's essentially impossible to find one except in collections. In any case, it wouldn't make sense to try to spend one - aside from the questions it would raise, they're possibly worth much more to a collector. The most common ones (1934-A Federal Reserve Notes) sell for a hundred dollars or so above face value even when worn, and other series can be worth upwards of $13,000 as of 05/2010.
