<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 1245634, member: 15062&quot;]Two thoughts occur to me:</p><p><br /></p><p>Vending machines can not take halves because the coin slot and mechanism is not physically large enough for the coin to fit.&nbsp; To modify it would require a complete redesign of the mechanism, not a minor proposition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can not think of a single (legal) reason to have anything larger than a $100 bill.&nbsp; Where, in normal daily commerce, do you expect to be able spend a $500 or larger?&nbsp; You might be able to use a large bill if you were buying, and paying cash, for a large appliance or car, buy why bother?&nbsp; A fistfull of $100 will do the same job.&nbsp; Most people aren&#039;t going to keep a pile of larger bills laying around the house.&nbsp; Where is the economy of wanting to buy something, going to the bank to get a $1000 bill, take it to the appliance store, pay for your purchase and they send the bill right back to the bank?&nbsp; With checks, credit and debit cards, even $100 bills are of marginal use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
