Up til 1945 the US issued 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 dollar bills for general circulation. Also, $100,000 bills were printed for use by government agencies.

Chances are you may only see one in a museum or at a currency fair. They're still legal tender (except for the $100,000 bill) but none of them have been available at banks since 1969 so they are effectively out of circulation today.

These bills were primarily used for land trades and the five hundred is still legal tender. Please see the related link about these bills; note though that it isn't completely fact-checked.
