Deanna got it right.

And yes, Eisenhower was on the "silver dollar" (no silver coins since 1964) from 1971-1978, long after the "standing liberty" (really) silver dollar and before the Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea dollar coins.

And she properly left off Alexander Hamilton ($10 bill) who was never president and never could be because he wasn't born in the US, but in Barbados. He was Sec of Treasury and maybe?Interior. And left off Franklin ($100 bill) who started the US Post Office, the first American library and fire company, invented a ton of stuff and was a superb diplomat to the French and English. But never president.

And, yes, much larger than $1000 bills were made, but used mostly for inter-bank transfer before that all went electronic.

The earlier US coins, including 2-cent and 3-cent pieces didn't have presidents on them, but "Indians", eagles, and busts of Liberty.
