<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1370262, member: 31533&quot;]Actually, you might be more comfortable carrying one 500 dollar note and one 200 dollar note instead of a &#039;wad&#039; of 100 dollar notes, and it&#039;s possible the Gov&#039;t might issue them again (doubtful to me, but possible). However, I don&#039;t foresee the banks ordering them to give out to customers, since not that many people want them, and even if they do manage to order 1 strap, how&#039;s the bank going to feel when it only gives out one or two of them a month to people who want them. The second logistical problem is that there is no way in heck that regular stores, hotels, etc., will be wanting to accept them. Number one, if they do, then they can&#039;t exactly give them out in change, so it ties up their money until they can deposit the bill and get smaller ones for their use, and Number two, they are not really thrilled about 100&#039;s and 50&#039;s right now. Yes, the major grocery stores do accept 100&#039;s but many hotels/motels will not and I don&#039;t know too many smaller mom and pop ones that will. Gas stations sometimes have notices saying the largest bill they accept is a 20.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I think in this case the Gov&#039;t is correct in assuming that 500&#039;s and 1000&#039;s are not necessary in today&#039;s atmosphere, and that 100&#039;s are perfectly acceptable for carrying. The only time the larger bills would be good is to travel with large amounts of money and reduce the bulk 5 to 10 times. The gov&#039;t&nbsp; now is not really interested in making it easier for people to travel with large amounts of cash, so why would they do this?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And, IMO, the 200.00 bill concept is just way out there and will never be accepted. Look at the 2.00 bill right now. It&#039;s sometimes used, but not that much, and most people don&#039;t care for it.&nbsp; They&#039;d rather have 2 one dollar bills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
