I think stacked $1000 bills would go up to the penitentiary as fake money.
$100 bill is the largest denomination made...now, although $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today,
but very scarce and limited.
Of the $10,000 bills, 100 were preserved for many years by Benny Binion, the owner
of Binion's Horseshoe casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were sold.
