<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1270061, member: 12789&quot;]I like the notion of $500 and $1000 bills, but face it - there is practically no viable reason for them to be issued.&nbsp; I never have that much cash or need it.&nbsp; If I buy groceries I write a cheque, if I buy petrol I use a credit card.&nbsp; At this point the only benefactors would be people in the illicit trades, ie drugs, prostitution, government bribes etc.&nbsp; Why make it easier for people like former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer to not get caught?&nbsp; He got caught when the Feds investigated all the suspicious wire transfers to front companies for Emperor Club VIP.</p><p><br /></p><p>Large denomination bills were useful back in the days before electronic banking, credit cards etc.&nbsp; But I hate to say, the vast majority of citizens never saw them, let alone even knew they existed back in the day.&nbsp; Relatives of mine that lived during the time they were used were excited to even see a $20 bill - a huge amount of money during the Great Depression.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
