The largest currently in use is $100.00.

Up till WWII, the Treasury also issued $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 bills for general circulation. Production was ended due to low demand. In 1969 the government ordered a halt to their distribution through the banking system in an effort to curtail their use in criminal activities. Large-denomination bills were never formally recalled, although banks are required to keep any that are redeemed and send them back to the Treasury.

$500 through $10,000 bills are technically still legal to spend at face value, but doing so would be foolish because almost all of them are worth much more as collectibles.

The largest bank notes the US ever printed were the 1934-series $100,000 gold certificates. They were intended for transactions between branches of the Federal Reserve and featured a picture of Woodrow Wilson. These special bills were never put into general circulation and are illegal for private citizens to own. Most were destroyed in the 1960s; only a few were saved for museums.

Largest size or largest denomination? The largest denomination in common use would be the Japanese 500 Yen coin (~$5 US/Canadian) The largest denomination that is theoretically legal tender would be the 1 Million dollar face value 100 Kilogram gold Canadian coin, although its intrinsic value of the gold is worth much more than the 1 million dollar face value! As for the largest size, in common circulation I'd say it would be something roughly the size of the US Eisenhower dollar which still occasionally circulates.
