If you receive a large sum of money should you pay off your mortgage?
It is actually better to pay off other bills with higher interest rates. Paying off bills will raise your FICO credit score, which will open new doors.
What large denomination bills are no longer in circulation?
The U.S. no longer prints any bills larger than $100. Larger denominations since removed from circulation were for $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000. There was also such a thing as a $100,000 bill, but that was for large payments between government agencies rather than public use. There is not currently, nor has there ever been a U.S. $1,000,000 bill.
Why don't they use 500 bills anymore?
Printing of large-denomination bills was discontinued in 1945 due to low demand - at that time the dollar's purchasing power was many dozens of times what it is today so there was very little need even for $100 bills, let alone $500 or $1000. (FWIW, the bills were printed up to 1945, but the last ones issued were under the existing 1934 series so they all carry that date.) Today there are 2 reasons that it's unlikely new high-value bills will be printed. First, the use of credit cards and electronic payments for large purchases means there still isn't much demand for high-value bills, even though inflation has caused prices to rise to a point where $100 bills are commonplace. Second, the government is worried that new high-value bills would make it easier for criminals to transfer large amounts of money without leaving a trail. With the $100 bill as the highest denomination available, smugglers or drug runners who want to move large amounts of money are forced to handle huge quantities of paper making it more difficult for them to avoid detection. However, the EU does issue €200 and €500 bills, so there is some speculation that the U.S. may eventually need to follow suit regardless.
Where can you exchange a US 1000 dollar bill?
Technically, banks are still required to exchange older bills for modern currency. HOWEVER .... that may not make any financial sense because they can only exchange at face value. Nearly all large-denomination bills are worth more as collectibles so you'd be better off getting an offer from a buyer.

The first federally-issued $2 bills were printed in 1862. The denomination is still being printed, but not in large quantities. As of this writing the most recent printing was in 2012, although the bills carry a 2009 series date.
What is the value of a 1925 US silver certificate?
The US didn't print any bills dated 1925. Please check again and post a new question that includes the bill's denomination. The nearest dates are 1923 (large size bills) and 1928 (small size bills).
When was the U.S. five hundred dollar bill printed?
The last U.S. $500 bills were printed in the 1934 series, which was issued up till 1945. In 1969 a government order was issued that banks no longer had to distribute large-denomination bills. The reason was that they were being used in organized crime to hide large transactions.
Why is the 10000 bill no longer printed?
Production of high denomination bills was stopped in 1945 and distribution was stopped in 1969 because there was very little demand for them at the time. Since then inflation has eroded purchasing power to the point that some higher-denomination bills could be justified in ordinary commerce, but the government is reluctant to print them because they could also be used to easily transfer large amounts of money for criminal activities. By forcing large-value transactions to be made electronically or to use lots of smaller bills, it's easier to track illegal purchases.
Where can I get a five hundred dollar bill?
Today you'd have to purchase one from a dealer or banknote collector. In July 1969 President Nixon ordered banks to distribute only bills with values of $100 or less as a way to stop the use of large-denomination bills by organized crime.
What is the value of a 1952 US 10 dollar bill with a red seal?
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. The last $10 bills with a red seal were large-size notes printed in the 1923 series, and no US bills of any denomination are dated 1952.
Does Rome still use 1000 dollar bills for currency?
Rome never used 1000 dollar bills for currency, seeing as how the Dollar is a particularly US denomination (as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a few others). Italy, where Rome is, uses the EURO. ______________________________ Rome, Italy has never used any "dollar" bills as currency; the euro is the official Italian currency. Bills of $1,000 US Dollar denominations are no longer in circulation; the largest US banknote is $100. Distribution of high-denomination bills ended in 1969. This was intended to make it inconvenient for drug traffickers and other criminals to carry large amounts of cash.
Is there a 500 hundred dollar?
"500 hundred" would be 50,000. There has never been a 50,000 dollar bill. There were a few $10,000 bills printed, and an even smaller number of $100,000 bills, used only for transactions between federal reserve banks. There also was a $500 dollar bill, which may be what you're asking about. None of these bills are still in circulation. They're still technically legal US currency, but the treasury department has been removing them from circulation for over 40 years now and they're worth considerably more than face value to collectors. The highest denomination of US currency still being printed is the $100 bill, and it's unlikely the treasury will ever authorize the printing of larger denomination bills again (there's no longer any legitimate need for them; large currency transfers are now done electronically, and the only people large denomination bills would really help are drug lords and counterfeiters).
What was the highest denomination Federal Reserve Note?
$10,000 was the highest denomination of Federal Reserve Note. They were printed in limited numbers up through 1945, although they carried a 1934 series date. Other high-denomination bills were $500, $1000 and $5000. $500 bills saw moderate use by businesses in the days before electronic funds transfers and widespread use of checks. Still, demand for the bills was low and they were all discontinued in 1945, the same as $10,000 bills. Banks were still allowed to distribute the bills on request, but they became popular as a way for criminals to easily hide large amounts of money without detection. That led the government to halt all distribution of high-value bills as of mid-1969. In addition to these bills, about 42,000 special $100,000 gold certificates were printed in 1934 and 1935 but these were only for internal use by the Federal Reserve System and never circulated.

Is there a 200 dollar bill?
Not in the US or Canada. While such a denomination would make sense for commerce, the governments do not want to print bills with higher denominations because they would make it easier for criminals to move large amounts of money without detection.The EU does issue €200 bills, though.
