The US used to have $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills but they're no longer in circulation.

The last ones were printed as late as 1945 but carried a 1934 series date. Production was discontinued due to low usage, but the bills remained in circulation; up till 1969 you could ask for them at a bank. That year the government began a program of "soft withdrawal" as part of their efforts against organized criminals who were using the bills as a convenient way to move large amounts of money. The bills weren't officially withdrawn but banks were no longer allowed to distribute them and any that were received had to be exchanged for smaller denominations. Within a few years any remaining high-value bills essentially disappeared from use.

Can you get a 500 dollar bill?

Any $500.00 note is worth more than face value, but that depends on the condition, whose signatures are on it and the Federal Reserve District it was issued from. Please, take it to a dealer for a accurate assessment.

What is the value of a 1934 A US 500 dollar silver certificate?

Please don't assume that every old bill is a silver certificate. The banner across its top and the green seal indicate it's a Federal Reserve Note, the same type of paper money used today. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 A US 500 dollar bill?".


What is the value of a 1928 C US 500 dollar bill?

There was only one series of $500 bills printed with the 1928 date so a "C" series letter (indicating a fourth series) can't exist. You're almost certainly looking at the Federal Reserve letter which indicates your bill was distributed through the Philadelphia district. As of 10/2015 a 1928 $500 Federal Reserve Note has a retail price of about $700 in average condition. A crisp one without any fold marks could sell for around $1200.

Are US 500 dollar bills still in circulation?

No, the last time $500 bills were printed was in 1945, although these were dated 1934. They are worth a large premium over face value. There are many places selling $500 and other large denominations of US currency if you are looking to add to your collection, but be prepared to pay $850 for even a low grade $500 bill. 1928 B-New York $500 Federal Reserve Note sells for $1449
