<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1731261, member: 27832&quot;]Beats me. Also beats the manufacturers of self-checkout kiosks at the stores around here, which <i>accept</i> any denomination (including, in some cases, $100s), but <i>dispense</i> only $1, $5 and $20 bills. Beats even harder the manufacturers of our ATMs, which dispense only $20s, period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe my perception is colored by these machines, but it seems to me that the $10 is circulating less and less, and anything larger than a $20 is harder to pass (some machines won&#039;t accept them, and some stores won&#039;t, especially during off hours). So, the $5 and the $20 become the workhorses, with $1s basically serving as &quot;loose change&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, the eagle units (quarter-eagle, half-eagle, eagle, double eagle) are more relevant than the dollar units. Eventually, it&#039;ll be the half-union and union ($50 and $100). We&#039;ve already reached the point where a family dinner is more closely covered by a $50 bill than by a $20.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
