Currently in the US are issued banknotes of $ 1, $ 2, $ 5, $

10, $ 50 and $ 100. The largest banknote ever issued for
circulation was $ 10,000, but was withdrawn from
circulation due to lack of use.

counterfeited by Americans, while
abroad banknote counterfeiters

Another thing about dollars less
