That’s because the lira was replaced by the Euro, and is now only a fond, many-zeroed memory!
I think its the Kuwaitian Dinar.
I think it’s a 1920’s-style Death Ray. 
Wow, Vietnamese Dongs sure are small.
(Someone had to say it)
Nah. The US Treasury has $10,000 and even $100,000 bank notes existing today. Though they aren’t in common circulation outside the Federal Reserve System anymore.
Cite for the $100,000? I can only find evidence of a $10,000.
Oh, and I just wasted 5 minutes of my life going theough an online currency converter country by country 
.
One dollar will get you:
Kuwait 0.3 dinars
Bahrain 0.38 dinars
Oman 0.39 rials
Sorry, I was off by 10. I was thinking of the $1,000 and $10,000 notes (Grover Cleveland and Salmon Chase).
The $100,000 bill has Woodrow Wilson on it. Currency is a frequent topic of discussion in our office given the number of coin collectors and history buffs we have there.
All of the presidents are on the $10,000 bill. They’re having a party. Jimmy Carter’s passed out on the couch.

That’s false. The true answer depends on how you re-phrase the question. If you ask for the ‘most valuable bank note in common circulation’, the EUR500 gets beaten by the CHF1000 (worth about EUR642 / USD789). This is fairly commonly seen. While you don’t get them in ATM’s, I used a handfull to buy a new car, and nobody raised an eyebrow. There are almost 20 million of them in circulation, about 4 per Swiss citizen.
(On the other hand, according to some sources, the EUR500 was at the beginning not accepted in some countries - even though there are about three of them per euro-zone inhabitant.)
If you talk about the ‘most valuable note - all categories’, I believe that there are many high-denomination notes in different countries, but that’s a different issue.
