Yes, but they're only printed as demand requires. As of this writing they've been printed in the 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2013 series.

$2 bills make up only about 1% of all circulating paper money in the US. That number is up slightly due to modest increases in use because of inflation, but remains low because there are widespread and persistent myths about the denomination:

Myth 1: "They're rare." In fact, each printing consists of tens of millions of bills. That number is just a tiny fraction of the billions of other notes printed each year so deuces are merely uncommon, not rare.

Myth 2: "They've been discontinued." That's simply a misunderstanding that's developed because people so rarely see them in circulation.

Myth 3: "They're tainted / cursed." This myth persists, especially among people without a lot of education. It came about because over a century ago the denomination was heavily used at race tracks and in brothels (before prices went up!). Some people refused to accept the bills, assuming they'd been used in those less-than-genteel surroundings.

Does Rome still use 1000 dollar bills for currency?

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).

4.3 inches, most heist movies make it seem like it would fill up a briefcase and such but it doesn't. In 20 dollar bills it is 21.5 inches, in 10 dollar bills it is 43 inches, in 5 dollar bills it is 86 inches, and in 1 dollar bills it is 430 inches. A dollar bill is .0043 inches so in turn to make a stack a mile long it would takeover 14 million bills.
