How Much Counterfeit U.S. Currency Is in Circulation?
According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, it is estimated that approximately $70 million in counterfeit U.S. currency is currently circulating. This means there is about 1 fake banknote for every 10,000 genuine notes. Some estimates suggest the number could be as high as $200 million, or roughly 1 counterfeit for every 4,000 authentic notes.
What Are the Current U.S. Banknote Denominations?

$1 bill , $2 bill, $5 bill , $10 bill , $20 bill, $50 bill, $100 bill

Are Large Denomination U.S. Bills Still Available?
The U.S. no longer produces high-denomination currency such as the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills. These larger bills were last issued in 1969 and are no longer used in everyday transactions. However, they remain legal tender and are now considered rare collector’s items.
