No there is not. (im assuming your talking about USD)
According to the US Treasury Department...
"We receive many inquiries asking if the Treasury Department ever produced a $1 million currency note. People have sent in copies of these notes. We have found that they are nonnegotiable platinum certificates known as a "One Million Dollar Special Issue." These notes were from a special limited copyrighted art series originally sold by a Canadian firm for $1.00 each as a collectible item. They are not official United States currency notes manufactured by our Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). As such, they are not redeemable by the Department of the Treasury."

These items are therefore useful only for collectors. I have heard this came in the news a few months ago. I can still remember that we were all startled to have heard about it. But of course, no affirmation ever came about its existence. What was shown were the regular bills that are in circulation.

If there was one, I wouldn't mind having it lol. The only problem with that would be if I went to spend it , I would need to get the change and that would be pretty difficult, unless the item was pretty expensive lol. I remember the six million dollar man on telly years ago..

It was in the news that there is none such a thing. The biggest amount under regular circulation is $100.
