The highest denomination currently in use is $100. It's not possible to keep an exact count of the number of common bills in circulation, because some will be lost, stolen, or destroyed nearly every day.
Before 1969 banks were allowed to distribute bills worth $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. While technically still legal to use, they're worth more to collectors and banks must hold back any they receive.
There were also special $100,000 bills printed for use inside the government but these were never available to the general public. It's the only denomination whose total production and number in existence can be determined exactly. Only 42,000 of these were printed.

Are 10 and 20 dollar bills the same size?
Regardless of denomination, all current US paper bills are the same size (155.96 mm x 66.29 mm) and weight (1 gram). In many other countries, each bill is a different size as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Higher-denomination bills are larger which prevents counterfeiters from bleaching a low-value bill and reprinting it with a higher denomination. The US instead adds special hidden security strips to each denomination. The strips for each denomination are in different places and glow different colors under UV light.
