Currently the US issues paper money in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. $100 and $2 notes are the least common in ordinary use, while $1 bills are the most common.

Up till 1945 the US also printed $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills. These bills were discontinued from general use in 1969.

There was also a special $100,000 bill that was printed only for govenment use; they were never put in circulation.

What is the value of paper Confederate money?

First, you would have to verify that it is real -- there are more copies out there than there are real ones. Copies have a minimal novelty value. Second, there are many different denominations, dates, etc. for Confederate notes -- you would need to specify exactly which one(s) you have. I suggest you find a local coin show, and take the currency with you to get a free appraisal from a dealer at the show. Try checking coinshows.com to see if there are any shows coming up in your area.
