Large-denomination Federal Reserve notes have never been formally recalled, demonetized, or otherwise declared worthless.
The last high-denomination bills were printed in the 1934 series. In July 1969 the Federal Government suspended the distribution of high-value bills through the banking system as a way to help combat organized crime. At that time the Treasury established a policy of "soft withdrawal." That is, bills above $100 are still considered to be legal tender and people are allowed to own them or spend them; however, any any that are turned in at a bank must be sent back to the Treasury. Over the last 40+ years that policy has effectively removed all $500 and larger bills from circulation.
