Message:: [QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 942215, member: 22476"]I want $200, $500, and $1,000 bills for general circulation. However, I have always thought, for about 15 years or so that they should also reissue the $5,000 and $10,000 bills and issue a $2,000 bill MAINLY for collectors, and would be sold to the public at an affordable premium, but a premium that makes it "not worth" buying, just to put them into circulation. I WOULD want them to be legal tender for all debts public and private, as with any U.S. coin or currency denomination. So, in other words, you should be able to purchase a new style "big head" colorized $10,000 Salmon P. Chase bill, but they should cost at least $12,000 or so, just to deter most Americans or even foreigners from using these ultra-high denominations as cash. The major problem though, would still be counterfeiters. Its probably the dream of most counterfeiters to bring back new style $5,000 and $10,000 bills as well as issue new $2,000 bills. I also think that the government should bring back some of the obsolete coin denominations as well, such as the 20 cent coin, the 2 cent coin, the 3 cent coin, and mainly, the half cent coin. Like I said, I would love the half cent's return and THOSE should be sold at a premium low enough for IF you desired to spend a few around town for fun. My main reason though, is for half cent slots at the casino. And finally, I wish the government would ressurect its orginal plans to print $3 bills and make $3 bills at a premium, but also print small quantities of $3s for general circulation, as I am sure that $# bills would have probably been popular at the horse racing tracks where they could have increased their minimum $2 betts to $3 bets, as a person once suggested might have happened, had the government actually went through with their plans to print $3 bills. As much as I hate mentioning it, I am sure the strippers would LOVE to see $3 bills circulate as well.[/QUOTE]
