The denominations of currency produced in the United States are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Larger denominations used be produced, including a $100,000 bill, featuring a portrait of [[Woodrow Wilson]], that was produced at one time. In 1969, President [[Richard Nixon]] issued an [[executive order]] withdrawing bills larger than $100 from circulation "to make life harder for the mafia". <ref>http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/01/13/stories/2007011300280800.htm</ref>
