$100 is currently the highest-denomination bill issued in the US.

The largest bank note the US ever printed was $100,000. It wasn't intended for general circulation and was only used between branches of the Federal Reserve. It was printed in orange and featured a picture of Woodrow Wilson.

Other large bills were:

*The $500 bill - William McKinley

*The $1,000 bill - Grover Cleveland

*The $5,000 bill - James Madison

*The $10,000 bill - Salmon P. Chase

Printing of those denominations was suspended in 1945 due to low demand. In July 1969 the government ended distribution of all bills larger than $100 in an effort to stop their use by organized crime.
