Something where the dollars go along with the national currency, and in some countries, such as Zimbabwe, and does it replaced from circulation. It is known that there are banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollars. Yes, there are $ 2, but they are extremely rare. But if you think that the "weaving" is the biggest bill, you are deeply mistaken. USA have money bigger, but they don't always know even the Americans themselves.
Surprisingly, there are dollar "papers" of 500, 1000, 5000, 10 000 and 100 000! If on 500 and 1000 many people know, but someone was lucky enough to deal with them, then anything above 1000 is the money that is kept in the hands of the few. Yes, in circulation around the world there are a maximum of 100 dollar bills, because "bucks" with a large number of zeros it is forbidden to export from the United States law.
It should be noted that these bills are releasing quite a bit and they tidbit for collectors. Worth the money far above par, sometimes dozens of times. But why was issued such notes, is only for the needs of collectors?
Dollars, in denominations above 100, was once intended for foreign exchange transactions, but as the banking system evolved, they gradually fell away. Since about 1969, the money began to withdraw from circulation and about them by the end of the ' 70s almost forgot.
Large bills produced in the United States at different times, so the appearance of banknotes of the same denomination might be different. For example, five-thousandth notes can decorate with various political figures. So, what are the dollar "bills", which you probably don't give back?
All of the bills that we are discussing today, $ 500 was the most common. Now it was withdrawn from circulation as larger counterparts. On the banknote depicts the portrait of 25 of President William McKinley, who went down in history as the man who made the U.S. a colonial power.

Today banknotes of this denomination can be found only in collections and auctions. They are, as you already understood, much above par from 10 thousand dollars (730 thousand rubles) and above. Now there are only 342 such notes, and the rest seized and destroyed.
On the bill in the $ 10,000 portrait of the President, but also of an important person in American history — lawyer Samuel chase. He signed the Declaration of independence in 1776, and in addition to that, he headed the U.S. Supreme court and the Ministry of Finance.
