I can’t give this article much credibility. I used a $1000 bill to pay for one of my early teenager cars, in the late 1980s. Granted, it was rare, but not unheard of. So I can’t give much credence to a claim that all $1000 bills were pulled out of circulation back in the late ‘60s.

It was also a prize offered by Monte Hall on Let's Make a Deal in the 1970s. It was already a bit of a rarity, but not illegal to present as a prize on a game show.

Out of circulation generally means that if a bank gets it they won't give it to a customer. It's still legal tender, but you have to get it from somewhere else.

I had a small stack of hundreds after a Las Vegas trip which I was depositing back in my account. The teller stacked the old ones separately from the new ones. When I asked her if that meant they were pulling the old ones out of circulation, she quickly shoved them back into one pile and denied it. Yeah, I really believed that.

I had a $1000 bill once....should have never spent it.
