What Is The Biggest Bill In The USA?

i thought this was interesting (from the link above)

On July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose. While these notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today, the Federal Reserve Banks remove them from circulation and destroy them as they are received.

Ive seen a few $1000 and $500 bills. My friends dad back in grade school had them.

Yea when I sold my car on ebay last week the guy showed up and paid me in $500 bills, I hadn't seen any before. Gotta deposit that $$$ tomorrow morning, I HATE having this much cash on me.
