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 use inside the government. Printing was discontinued in 1945. In 1969 banks were ordered to stop distribution of high-denomination bills as a way of combatting organized crime.
