$100 bills are the most common bill in circulation, even ahead of $1 bills.
One reason for this is $100 bills have a longer lifespan than smaller denominations, due to people using $100 bills less often for transactions. Some businesses may also decline $100 bills as payment.
Based on 2018 estimates from the Federal Reserve, a $100 bill has a lifespan of over 20 years, which is significantly higher than $1 bills (7 years) and $5 bills (5 years).

Remember the story about Obama sending plane loads of cash (1.5B?) to Iran....I wonder if those types of things are included in these numbers.

Of course
It was part of the nuclear deal with Iran, to pay them in cash for good behavior
He had to ship cash to circumvent sanctions. I wonder if sending cash was Obama idea or the mullah of Iran
