While the US is unlikely to stop printing $1 bills in the near future there's a very slowly increasing realization in Congress that a considerable amount could be saved by doing away with $1 bills in favor of coins.
About 50 other countries have already done so, and claims that their citizens would never accept the new coins proved to be unfounded. However those other countries' coinage policies are determined by their Treasury Departments or Finance Ministries, while coinage changes in US require Congressional approval. That allows politics to muddy the waters significantly, especially because Crane Paper (the single supplier of all paper for $1 bills) lobbies relentlessly to maintain their profit margins.
At some point the inefficiencies of the $1 bill will outweigh the politics of the situation, just like the incredible waste of using English measurements in an otherwise metric world will eventually force the US to convert. That time will not come soon though, unless current attitudes shift more than they have.
The US Mint could never have stopped making $2 bills because it never started. The Mint only makes coins. All paper money is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In any case $2 bills have never been discontinued. See the question "When did the US stop printing 2 dollar bills?" for more information.
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 Mint could never have stopped making $500 bills because it never started. The Mint only makes coins. All paper money is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Please see the question "When did the US stop printing 500 dollar bills?" for more information.
The first federally-issued $2 bills were printed in 1862. They were issued as United States Notes, a now-obsolete form of currency.
The last year for Franklin halves was 1963.
The United States of America is currently making 1,2,5,10,20,50, and 100 dollar bills. There are no plans to change these denominations in the near future.

As of 2010, the US is still producing the One Dollar bill.
Three dollar bills exist but they were never issued by the US government, although the US issued a three dollar coin from 1854 to 1889. Earlier, some colonies printed three dollar bills. When banks were allowed to print money in the early days of the US, some printed legitimate, legal three dollar bills. The Confederacy also produced three dollar bills.
No. US one dollar bills were not made in 1950.
Older dollar bills are indeed still in circulation. US bills aren't removed from circulation until they wear out.
The first federally-issued $2 bills were printed in 1862. They were issued as United States Notes, a now-obsolete form of currency.
There are no plans, nor any compelling reason, for the US to stop printing $50 bills. In fact, they now see more circulation due to increased prices so it would make very little financial or political sense to stop making them.
