    No, the EU discontinued their 500 Euro note recently to combat organized crime. The Fed has this in mind when it discontinued high denominations in 1969.

    Only when inflation gets to the point where a pint of beer costs $100, other than that, I agree with the above posts- highly unlikely it will be brought back.

    I don't think many people even carry $100 notes, let alone $500s.

    The $500.s and $1,000 bills are just relics now, even thought there
    Great collector pieces as the command well above spot, for me i dont
    Even carry cash anymore in my wallet, only carry Gold Rewards AMEX

    I’m unable to recall a monetary transaction I’ve been involved in where hundred dollar bills didn’t work quite nicely. A $500 note might have been more impressive, but hundreds work just fine.

    Hmm, doubt it seriously. Besides, the "majority" of retail cashiers today cannot give
    accurate change EVEN WHEN IT IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN !!! is it any wonder retailers are being forced into nearly cashless transactions??
    Ooops, forgot to turn the RANT button off. :)

    Could be, there was talk of a $500 bill featuring Ronald Reagan.

    I could see a ceremonial $500 bill for a few years with some prototype anti-countefeit measures incorporated into it.
