Never understood why they got rid of the $500 bill, I hate paying people in $100's when buying something pretty expensive.

I used a $50 bill that was printed in 1995. The young girl at the register thought it wasnβt real. The older manager saved the day. π
Next time you have that happen.... Keep the bill and pay another way... Then look for a rare bill dealer that is honest... there are some.... If it is not counterfeit it may be worth.

I had a 1928 $2 bill the 1st year they were printed. Also a 1934 $100 bill. The 100 was the big money. My wife's granddaughter stole them.

As much as I'll miss it, paper money is rapidly being displaced by digital currency.
Tracking is one goal but the fact is it's just easier to do.
I carry cash, pay with checks and use my CC but my kids are pretty much digital.

You stop printing and circulating a large denomination bill like $500 or the $1000 note. Issue a notice that banks will no longer accept them after a certain date as legal tender. A drug dealer has to try and cash them in or he has a bunch of bills worth nothing. That is what I read once about getting rid of bills over $100. A large amount was in the hands of drug dealers. The FBI figured they would catch them turning them in or the dealers lost millions. Tax evasion if nothing else when they brought a million dollars worth to the bank. Never knew how true it was. But it made sense

That was the story on trying to get rid of the $100s that I heard.
Can you imagine that old gangster had thousands of old hundred dollar bills that probably were worth much more than the face value due to the age of the bills (20βs and 30βs) and they had a hard time using them even for face value. Supposedly they had to hire someone to take care of them.
2 million dollars in bills worth maybe 4 million dollars and to only net maybe 1 million from them. Karma for sure! π
