Message:: [QUOTE="funkee, post: 1533905, member: 37925"]It's a waste of tax payer money and it will aide illegal trafficking. Moving $1,000,000 in $1,000 bills takes up 10 times less space than $100 bills. That's one of the main reasons we got rid of high denominations in the first place. Then the printing itself will take a lot of R&D towards design, anti-counterfeiting, equipment, testing, QA, etc. We've already wasted a ton of money and time trying to fix the screw-ups with the most recent series of $100 notes. Meanwhile, there are many other worthwhile things that the government should be spending the money on. We have a tremendous waste in government spending as it is. Meanwhile important things like education are suffering due to under-funding. And lastly, most transactions today are electronic. It would be ridiculous to introduce more paper money in denominations that you can't even spend unless you're buying a car or house in cash. It's hard enough to find a place willing to break a $100 bill.[/QUOTE]
