Once when I was twenty, I won about $1200 which would be like $12000 now, adjusted for inflation. I had a check for $900. I was at the bank at 9 a.m. before payment could be stopped. They gave me a
$500 bill and four $100 bills. I practically ran out of the bank. My rent was $25 a month at the time.I had just won four years rent.

Edit: According to
Wikipedia, "Although they are still technically legal tender in the United States, high-denomination bills were last printed in 1945 and officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, by the Federal Reserve System. "

That doesn't mean that they are not still in circulation. The Fed just stopped printing them.

I have seen them at a poker game within the last 12 years or so. There were quite a few floating around a poker club I used to work at and people paid a small premium for them.
