At the outset of World War II, when it became evident that the Japanese were going to take the Philippines, the US garrison there was ordered to destroy several million dollars of US currency so as to keep it out of Japanese hands. One of the officers who was there remembered using a couple $500 bills to light his cigar, and dumping huge bricks of large bills into an oil drum, where they were incinerated.
