<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1283449, member: 2098&quot;]Yeah, umm... I dunno. The other day I was at a Dollar Tree and a woman in front of me used a hundred dollar bill on a $7 purchase. Long delays ensued. The cashier had to call someone to bring change from a backroom and the cashier checked the bill for its authenticity multiple times. I felt that the woman was stupid, why carry a hundred dollar bill around for such a small purchase? It would have been considerate of her to break the bill at a bank such as at either of the two which were open at the time in the same shopping center. Imagine if this was a $500 or $1,000 bill...alot of stores would cringe at the thought of having to provide change and would find it easier to refuse them. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Also, the counterfeiting concerns would be great. I worry enough that the hundreds I get from the bank are legitimate and check them as much as is reasonable before leaving with them. The stress of potentially getting burned by a bad $1,000 bill would be too much for alot of people to bear. If the government would change their draconian stance in refusing to reimburse for getting stuck with a bad bill I might open up to this idea and would be more supportive but until then...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
