Best Answer

Current circulating denominations are:

  • $1 - a portrait of President George Washington
  • $2 - President Thomas Jefferson (this denomination isn't commonly used)
  • $5 - President Abraham Lincoln
  • $10 - 1st Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton
  • $20 - President Andrew Jackson
  • $50 - President Ulysses S. Grant
  • $100 - Statesman and scientist Benjamin Franklin

At one time the US also issued $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills for general circulation, and printed special $100,000 bills for internal government use. Printing was discontinued in 1945. In 1969 banks were ordered to stop distribution of high-denomination bills as a way of combatting organized crime.
