<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1288587, member: 26302&quot;]I view is as liberty. As long as one citizen, (and there are many others, I know a lot of coin dealers carry a great deal of cash with them to shows), has a &quot;legitimate, (legal) need&quot;, who is the government to stop them? Why does it have to be a ratio, that the government, in their infinite wisdom, decides what a &quot;legitimate&quot; reason is? My uncle used to carry around $2000 in his wallet folded behind a flap just in case he ran across a deal. Was he an &quot;illegitimate user&quot;? </p><p><br /></p><p>I view curtailing everyone&#039;s freedom because of the government&#039;s ineptitude in catching criminals as criminal. Why stop at $500 bills? Why not just mandate credit cards for all transactions? Surely this would also help the government stamp out criminals? If not, if they moved on to PM, then simply ban ownership of these. Actually, this is a point. Gold is used in international transactions this way. If the government proved more criminals owned gold than &quot;legitimate&quot; collectors, should the ownership of gold be banned too? In a small space gold is much more efficient that $100 bills.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
