You're probably thinking of the year that the US ordered banks to stop distributing large-denomination bills because they were being used by organized crime. Printing of all bills worth more than $100 ended in 1945 due to lack of demand. Since then the only denominations printed are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.

Was a 500.00 dollar bill ever printed in the US?

Yes, but denominations of $500 and up were discontinued in the 1940s. Banks were still allowed to give them out in payment up till 1969. That July President Nixon ordered banks to stop payment in all denominations higher than $100, in an effort to stop the use of high-value bills in organized crime. $500 and higher bills were never officially recalled but banks are required to hold and exchange any they receive, so they've effectively been out of circulation for many years.


Is the 100 dollar bill the largest denomination of currency printed in the US?

Yes. Other denominations currently printed are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, and $50. $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills were printed for circulation until 1945. Due to concerns about their use in funding organized crime, in 1969 President Nixon ordered banks to stop distributing them and to withhold any they might receive in deposit. The bills were never formally removed from circulation but after more than four decades they are effectively gone from use.
