Answer 1

Yes, the are still legal tender. But two things:

1) They were last printed in 1969, so they are way older than when your granddad got them.

2) Sell them to a coin collector and get way more than a grand for them.

They are legal tender. That doesn't mean a business MUST accept them. Any person can refuse the bill, but a person to whom you owe money must accept your offer of a $1000 bill as an offer of legal payment; but again, just sell the damn thing to a collector for much more..

Answer 3

Banks will still accept the 1000 but these are not in circulation- meaning - you can't spend them in a store and once the bank gets them, they must return them to the Fed for proper disposal.

Answer 4

I would think so....don't just leave them hanging around, go deposit them in a savings account and see if the bank takes them!

Answer 5

they are no longer legal tender. for short, thety're not usable anymore, but you can sell them for high prices as an antique
