In 1969 President Richard Nixon declared that banks no longer had to stock or distribute bills larger than $100. The aim was to make it more difficult for organized crime to make illegal cash transactions by forcing the use of many small bills instead of a few large ones.
Within a few years, most high-denomination bills had disappeared from circulation. Technically they're still legal tender, but anything you might find today would almost certainly be worth more than $500 to a collector.
