The U.S. no longer prints any bills larger than $100. Larger denominations since removed from circulation were for $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000. There was also such a thing as a $100,000 bill, but that was for large payments between government agencies rather than public use.
There is not currently, nor has there ever been a U.S. $1,000,000 bill.
Up until the 50's, there had been $1,000 bills in circulation, and there have even been $10,000 bills. My grandfather told me that they have been removed from circulation because such a large denomination would make large drug deals very easy, they attract A LOT of attention/jealousy because it is a vast wealth in a single bill, and it would be a prime target for counterfeiting. Because of these problems the US Gov/Treasury removed them from open circulation.
Yes! It pictures Salmon P Chase and is no longer in active circulation but there are a little over 300 of them held by collectors. There is such a thing as a $10,000 bill, but it's not in circulation. the largest denomination currently in circulation is the $100 bill. The largest denomination of a U.S. note is $100,000, and it too is out of circulation. You can still, on rare occasions, find large notes like these for sale through collectors, however, they're sold for a much higher amount than face value.
Large U.S. dollar bills, such as the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 denominations, are no longer in circulation and are considered highly collectible. Their value can vary significantly based on their condition, rarity, and demand among collectors, often exceeding their face value by many times. For example, a well-preserved $1,000 bill can be worth several thousand dollars today. However, the standard large denomination currently in circulation is the $100 bill, which is worth, as its face value indicates, one hundred U.S. dollars.
If by "most valuable" you mean "largest denomination", the Series 1934 US $100,000 gold certificate is the highest-denomination bill ever printed by the US. These bills were specially printed to facilitate movement of large sums within the Federal Reserve System. They were never placed into general circulation. 42,000 were originally made; all but a few were recalled and destroyed when electronic funds transfers became possible. The largest bills ever made for general circulation were $10,000 Federal Reserve Notes. They were last printed in 1945 although they carried the same 1934 series date as the $100,000 gold certificates. Distribution of high-denomination bills ($500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000) was halted in 1969 by President Nixon in an effort to hamper their use in criminal transactions. The bills were never formally withdrawn from circulation but have essentially disappeared over the subsequent decades.
At this time, effectively none. Only small numbers of $5000 and $10,000 bills had been printed before large-denomination bills were discontinued in 1945. Almost none were in general circulation; at that time $10,000 could be a year's income for a very wealthy person so they tended to be used by people who were extremely rich ... and often shady. For example, the gambling mogul and criminal Benny Binion amassed a collection $10,000 bills at his Las Vegas casino. After distribution of high-value bills was halted in 1969, most of the $5000 and $10,000 bills that were in private hands stayed there and/or eventually ended up in museums.
Yes, $1,000 bills did exist in the United States, but they were discontinued in 1969. These large-denomination bills were primarily used for transactions between banks rather than for general public circulation. While they are no longer in production, they are still legal tender and can be collected, often fetching high prices among numismatists.
"500 hundred" would be 50,000. There has never been a 50,000 dollar bill. There were a few $10,000 bills printed, and an even smaller number of $100,000 bills, used only for transactions between federal reserve banks. There also was a $500 dollar bill, which may be what you're asking about. None of these bills are still in circulation. They're still technically legal US currency, but the treasury department has been removing them from circulation for over 40 years now and they're worth considerably more than face value to collectors. The highest denomination of US currency still being printed is the $100 bill, and it's unlikely the treasury will ever authorize the printing of larger denomination bills again (there's no longer any legitimate need for them; large currency transfers are now done electronically, and the only people large denomination bills would really help are drug lords and counterfeiters).

Rome never used 1000 dollar bills for currency, seeing as how the Dollar is a particularly US denomination (as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a few others). Italy, where Rome is, uses the EURO. ______________________________ Rome, Italy has never used any "dollar" bills as currency; the euro is the official Italian currency. Bills of $1,000 US Dollar denominations are no longer in circulation; the largest US banknote is $100. Distribution of high-denomination bills ended in 1969. This was intended to make it inconvenient for drug traffickers and other criminals to carry large amounts of cash.
Yes, there are larger denominations of currency than a hundred dollar bill, such as the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills that were issued in the United States but are no longer in circulation. These high-denomination bills were primarily used for large transactions between banks and are now considered collector's items. However, they were officially discontinued in 1969, so they are not in everyday use today.
The last U.S. $500 bills were printed in the 1934 series, which was issued up till 1945. In 1969 a government order was issued that banks no longer had to distribute large-denomination bills. The reason was that they were being used in organized crime to hide large transactions.

The U.S. stopped printing bills higher than $100 in 1945 due to low demand. In 1969 a presidential order declared that banks were no longer required to issue high-denomination bills because they were being used by organized crime to hide large illegal transactions. As a result, high-denomination bills are effectively no longer in circulation. The widespread use of electronic purchases and currency transfers today means ordinary citizens would still probably not large billsif they were printed again. Some years ago there were discussions about printing $500 and possibly $200 bills in response to increased prices due to inflation, but nothing ever came of the proposals. Few countries worldwide use high-value bills, for similar reasons. The EU does issue €200 and €500 notes (roughly US$250 and $650); 200s are sometimes given out by ATMs but are difficult to "break" in ordinary transactions.
No not any more, circulation of all large denomination bills was halted in 1969. The $500 bill featured William McKinley on the front and the words "Five Hundred Dollars" on the back. It was released as a small-size Federal Reserve Note in 1928, 1934 and 1934A, and a small-size Gold Certificate in 1928.
