<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 779768, member: 22476&quot;]There are many good reasons for $200 and $500 bills AT LEAST. However, during the Christmas holidays, my family could easily blow through a $1,000 bill. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What about casions? Casinos sometimes pay out in cash if people request it. Even though I don&#039;t watch high stakes poker on tv, I do catch glimpses of the straps of $100 bills, and think &quot;Man! These guys would have a blast with $1,000 bills. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also, someone here mentioned &quot;Let&#039;s Make A Deal&quot; on a different $500 bill thread, well, that show is back on the air, and not as interesting to watch as the old version, when the host would break out a few $500s and $1,000s and one time, on the old show, the guy had a $5,000 bill and he mention on the show &quot;The bank told me&quot; Be careful with that $5,000 bill. Its the only one we have on this side of the country.&quot; :bigeyes<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So obviously $5,000s and $10,000s were rare.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is off topic, but has the old Let&#039;s Make A Deal show ever give away, or try to give away a $10,000 bill before?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, my mom won three progressive bingo jackpots for over $2,000 and the organiztion made her out a check, and when she cashed in the check, she wanted all LARGE bills, and all of those $100s was STILL a lot to handle, and more noticeible by potential muggers and other robbers than a few $500s and $200s or even, a couple $1,000s. (My mom said she wasn&#039;t sure about getting any $1,000s if they were available, but she would still get a few $500s and $200s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Banks also like the idea of larger denominations as well. I talked to a bank manager once at a bank I get $2 bills, halves and $1 coins, about $200, $500, and $1,000 bills, and he loved the idea. He also liked the idea of getting rid of cents, and $1 and $2 bills for $1 and $2 coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I bought a Jeep comache for $900, I paid the guy in all $100s, and told him, that they should bring back the $500, and he said &quot;Hell, bring back the $1,000 bill&quot; Before I bought my Comanche I had a Plymouth Reliant car, that was my first car and I paid just over $400 for it, and even though its a bit more of a minor problen than $900, I would have loved to have given the guy two $200s if they had them. Not trying to sound dumb, but thats still easier to keep track of than four $100s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I get a check since I&#039;m on disability, and it is for $674, and for the most of it, I would love to get a $500, or a few $200s just to make it harder to spend. Who wants to break even a $100 bill, let alone a $200 or $500. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, banks should have a few $200, $500 and $1,000 bills around in case someone comes in the bank and says &quot;I want to buy a tv, or an rv, or a boat etc. Think about it. A washer or dryer costs over $300, a stove/range costs over $500, and a refridgerator costs over $1,000. THERE is your purpose for ALL three large denoninations I propose.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I was talking about putting a dormer addition on my house that would cost $80,000-$90,000 if I had professsionals do it. Now, I don&#039;t have that kind of money, but if I had it roughed in, they quoted me about $40,000. So even then, if I wanted to pay in cash, I would STILL have to deal with 4-9 $10,000 bills if $5,00s and $10,000s were also still available.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So there STILL is demand for large banknotes, including the $5,000 and $10,000. I know that the government would really hate the idea of new $5,000s $10,000s (a strap of $10,000s being one million dollars, much to easy on drug dealers and money launderers, right?) and if they did by some chance, bring back the $5,000 and $10,000, I&#039;d suggest issuing a $2,000 bill, same as I propse a $200, to acompany the return of the $500 and $1,000. I suggest, however, that the Treasury reissue $5,000, $10,000 and issue $2,000 bills around the year 2020.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
