The United States five-hundred-dollar bill (US$500) (1861–1945) is an obsolete denomination of United States currency. It was printed by the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) beginning in 1861 and ending in 1945. Since 1969 banks are required to send $500 bills to the United States Department of the Treasury for destruction.
As of May 30, 2009, only 336 $10,000 bills were known to exist, along with 342 $5,000 bills, 165,372 $1,000 bills and fewer than 75,000 $500 bills (of over 900,000 printed).

The denominations issued were $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. The $1, $2, $500 and $1,000 notes were only issued in large size until 1882. The $1 and $2 notes are common from most issuing banks. Only three remaining examples of the $500 note are known, with one held privately; the $1,000 note is unknown to exist.
Once upon a time, though, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000 bills were in circulation. After the last printing of those denominations in 1945, the Treasury Department and the Federal ...
