The US $500 bill was discontinued in 1945 due to low demand. All of these bills were printed in the 1934 series, though, and show that date instead of 1945.

In 1969 President Nixon suspended distribution of bills higher than $100 in an effort to combat organized crime. Inflation has led to calls to print new high-denomination bills, but there's now concern about their use by terrorists so it's doubtful any new ones will be issued in the foreseeable future.
