There were, but not currently. At one time the US issued high-denomination ($500, $1000, $5000, and $10000) bills. They didn't circulate much among the general public and printing ended in 1945, although the last bills in the series were dated 1934.
There's more information at the Related Link.
Distribution of high-value bills by banks was halted in 1969 as a way to discourage their use in criminal activities such as drugs, money laundering, weapons, etc. The bills were never withdrawn so technically you could spend one but they're worth more than face value to a collector.

This is great rivi stuff because few people can even tell you who is on the $50 dollar bill. Anyway, the $5000 bill was printed from 1928 through 1934. On the front is President James Madison; on the reverse is just 5000 written between The United States of America and Five Thousand Dollars.
There were $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 bills but they were last printed in the 1940s and banks haven't been allowed to carry them since 1969. If you want to get one visit a dealer or a site like eBay.
