No. The US has never withdrawn any bills following a redesign. The only bills that have been officially withdrawn are gold certificates which were recalled when the US went off the gold standard in 1933. All others remain legal tender and can be spent at face value, although that may not make a lot of financial sense if a bill is very old and worth more as a collectible.
Banks are required to hold back old bills that are too worn to continue circulating, and any bills with denominations higher than $100. Thus over time older bills are gradually replaced by new ones, but they're not formally withdrawn due to their design.
The US has never stopped making $2 bills. They are made but are rarely seen in circulation. These bills are legal tender and can be spent.
The last known count of existing $1000 US bills was 165,372, in May of 2009. These bills are not in circulation and are worth more than their face value to collectors.
The US dollar bill with the highest circulation today is the $100. Other bills with a higher amount are currently not in circulation. These include $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. While technically still legal to use, they're worth more to collectors. There were also special $100,000 bills printed for use inside the government but these were never available to the general public.
According to the US Treasury, $1 bills remain in circulation for 36 to 48 months on average before they're too worn and have to be destroyed.
None. There is no American 1000 dollar bill. Unless it is a fake.CorrectionEssentially none. Up till 1945 the US printed bills with values up to $10,000. The last series carried a 1934 date however. In 1969 all further distribution of high-denomination bills was suspended because they were being used to "launder" criminal activities. In addition banks were (and still are) required to send back to the Treasury any such bills that they receive in deposit. Because of that, effectively all high-value bills are long gone from circulation.
Old bills are taken out of circulation by central banks and replaced with new bills. This process is called demonetization. Old bills are typically collected by banks and then destroyed either by shredding or burning to prevent them from re-entering circulation.
Older dollar bills are indeed still in circulation. US bills aren't removed from circulation until they wear out.
1,5,10, 20, 50, 100-bigger bills have been taken out of circulation to discourage drug dealers and or money laundering.
The US made 100,000 dollar bills, but none of these were ever in circulation. They were made to be used between Federal Reserve Banks.
All U.S. bills currently in circulation are the same size.
The US has never stopped making $2 bills. They are made but are rarely seen in circulation. These bills are legal tender and can be spent.
??? The US has NEVER formally removed any coins or bills from circulation except those backed by gold. You should be able to find oceans of pre-2001 coins in circulation, and a significant number of bills as well.
Yes. The US has never withdrawn or demonetized any bills except for gold certificates. 1995 and 1999 bills are sufficiently new that some of them remain in circulation.
Very definitely. The denomination was redesigned as part of the Bicentennial celebrations in 1976 and hundreds of millions were put into circulation. Unfortunately most of the 1976-date bills were saved as souvenirs instead of being spent. Still, they did circulate to a small degree and new printings have been made every few years, the most recent being in 2008.
Yes. In Canada they were taken out of circulation years ago. In the US they were never formally taken out of circulation but since 1969 you can't get one from a bank, so they're effectively no longer in circulation.

No. Watermarks are used only on $5 bills and higher denominations. The Treasury determined that the risk of counterfeiting low-value bills is so small that they don't have to be redesigned with more-sophisticated features like watermarks and color-shifting inks.
