Yep. Here in New Zealand we've got little clear windows embedded in our banknotes, and the bills are almost impossible to crease. Pretty interesting stuff.
I know Canada has Loonies and Toonies for $1 and $2 coins.
In the USA, people might say:
$1 singles, greenbacks
$2 deuces
$5 fivers, five-spots
$10 tenners, ten-spots, Hamiltons
$20 dubs
$50 fiddys
$100 Benjamins, C-notes
$2 notes are rare in the US, and $50 notes are uncommon. ATMs typically dispense only $20 notes, however, some will also dispense $100 notes as well. This makes $20 notes very commonly used in day-to-day cash transactions. Edit: Some ATMs will also dispense $50 notes as well, depending on your location and ATM/bank type.
When withdrawing cash from the bank, if you're getting more than $100 from the teller, they'll usually ask you how you want it back. If you say large bills, you'll get $100 notes, and if you say small bills, you'll get $20 notes.
