<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 1378530, member: 9167"]You have to realize that even when they were making $500 and $1000 notes, it wasn't for general commerce. People didn't have them in their wallets walking around town. You couldn't get them at most banks. They were intended entirely as a means to transferring large sums of money between banks, as this was before electronic transfers. This is what the government will tell you when you write to them. 99% of the people aren't going to utilize bills that large, even if they are available to them. It's much easier and safer to use plastic in higher amounts. I see your point, but from a practical standpoint, it's never going to happen. They are cutting dollar coins as a means to eliminate waste (though they're wrong) so producing more denominations that won't get used just won't get far.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
