US History Trivia: What is the largest official bill ever printed of US currency?

Most of us get excited when we see big amounts of currency - $100 bills are awesome, and at least for me, they are the largest bill that I have ever seen.  However, bigger bills exist out there - ones that most of us can only dream about.  Off of Pocket Trivia: US History - what is the largest official bill ever printed of US currency?  Is it $100,000, $10,000, $25,000 or $5,000?

The correct answer is a mind-boggling $100,000 bill, with President Woodrow Wilson on it.  Why in God's name were these things ever made?

Aside from the $100, the largest bill currently in active circulation, the US Government has printed larger bill denominations, including the $500 bill (William McKinley), $1,000 (Grover Cleveland), $5,000 (James Madison), $10,000 (Salmon Chase) and the $100,000 bill.  Printing of these bills stopped in 1945 and the government began to remove them from circulation in 1969.

If you ever get your hands on one of these, whatever you do, DO NOT LOSE YOUR WALLET.
