If it says it's an American bill I have 3 words: Fake, fake, and fake.
The largest genuine U.S. bill ever printed for circulation was worth $10,000. The largest bill printed today is all of $100. There are plenty of fantasy and novelty "bills" that you can buy from a catalog for a couple of bucks, but they're just that - novelty items worth about as much as the paper they're printed on.
Countries that suffered hyperinflation like Zimbabwe and 1920s Germany issued high-denomination bills but they're nearly or completely worthless because they came from ruined economies. For example, German bills from 1923 run up into the trillions of marks but sell for only a couple of euros today.
Yes, most banks will exchange bills for customers, typically requiring a valid form of identification.
Technically all federally-issued bills are still valid, but in practice gold certificates and large-size bills (pre-1920s) would be extremely difficult to spend because no bank or store is set up to handle them. And in any case, spending bills like that at face value wouldn't be a very good idea because they're worth more to collectors.
Found my late husbands Woolwich Building Society book dated 1996 is it still valid?
In the United States, an invoice can typically be issued up to 90 days after the goods or services are provided and still be considered valid.
No, they will remain a valid currency. In over a century, the only time the US ever withdrew any paper money occurred in 1933 when the country went off the gold standard and a form of paper money called gold certificates had to be exchanged for other bills. Technically all forms of paper money can still be spent but (a) most people wouldn't recognize anything older than 20 or 30 years and (b) a lot of older bills are worth more as collectibles than their face value However, paper money does wear out. When a bank receives a worn bill it's returned to the Federal Reserve system. Money deposited with a Federal Reserve Bank will be evaluated for quality and will be replaced if they do not meet strict standards. As of 2015, $1 and $5 bills have the shortest lifespans (4 to 5 years, depending on the source cited) while $100 bills are in circulation the longest (about 15 years).

They're technically considered to be altered bills so a merchant would be justified in refusing to take one in payment. However a bank may be able to replace the bill if it's still recognizable as a valid note.
Yes, existing $100 bills are still valid. Unlike many other countries, the US doesn't formally withdraw old bills when new designs are introduced. Old bills continue to circulate until they wear out. When banks receive a worn-out bill it's returned to the Treasury for destruction.
