i believe the highest bill ever made in American money was the 100,000 dollar bill. It wasn't used by just anyone, it was used only by banks to transfer money from one bank to another.

$10,000 bills were made for general circulation but saw little use at a time when that was considerably more than a year's income for most people.

The previous poster is referring to a special $100,000 gold certificate that was issued in late 1934 and early 1935 for the sole purpose of transferring money between government departments. The bills were orange and carried a picture of President Woodrow Wilson. One is on display at the Smithsonian. It's illegal for private citizens to own any of the surviving examples.
