The Scottish banks have to have their banknotes backed by Bank
of England notes, and for this purpose the Bank of England has issued
notes for GBP1 million and GBP100 million.

???

The highest denomination banknote that I have ever seen issued was for
$100,000, bearing the portrait of late US president Woodrow Wilson.

But that was actually for a substantial amount. I am not counting
banknotes
from Yugoslavia, for example, which had a 1 billion-dinar note, due
because
of hyper inflation.

It's mentioned on this page.

I like the point that the GBP1 million and GBP100 million notes are 'not for
general circulation.'
