<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1288624, member: 15929&quot;]They stopped making those bills because they were used &quot;exclusively&quot; for LARGE cash transactions and simply did not FIT into daily commerce. Personally, I would LOVE to have a $500 bill BUT that represents 500 dollars that is not earning me interest. It&#039;s just dead money.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while we&#039;re at it, when they WERE making $500 and $1,000 bills, I was a working stiff that &quot;appreciated&quot; the $2.22 an hour I was paid although I was seriously jealous that my buddy made $3.27 an hour. To me, a $500 bill represented 1/5 of the price of a new Camaro or Mustang. Most importantly, it represented 5.6 weeks worth of gross pay and nearly 8 weeks worth of NET pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>A $500 bill back then would represent a $15,000 bill today and neither would be very practical for daily commerce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today&#039;s economy should NOT be confused with reality since $500 and $1,000 dollars still represents real figures[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
