I've spent a few Canadian $1000 bills in the past, but it was on purpose I
had them, but $100 notes would have been just fine to use as well. Once was to buy a ticket to Australia ($2100) and a couple times it was to pay off a loan. The most fun was to buy a case of beer, they had lots of money in the till and the girl selling the beer wanted the $1000 so I used it. I miss the thousand, not because they have taken it out of circulation, just because it seems I never have enough at one time to get one. Kyle. "Scottishmoney" wrote in message ... "Christian Feldhaus" wrote in Good for you. Otherwise you could be mistaken for a drug dealer or, even worse, one of those rotten Europeans by some g. I hardly ever use a ¤200 note, and the only time I have ever owned a ¤500 note was three years ago - when I specifically asked for one at the bank, just because I was curious. On the other hand, we have "always" had 1000 DM notes in Germany. That would be about 511 euro now - but 30 or 40 years ago, a thousand marks would buy you much more of course. Similarly, the Swiss have a 1000 CHF note - worth about 647 euro ... Christian I once saw someone spending a $1000 bill in Canada, at that time it was worth about ¤500. That is the largest bill I have seen that was actually being used, it was in a Casino of course, someone wanting change for it. |

Riggs got fined (its reputation was so tarnished that management
quickly sold the bank after), but wasn't it for laundering money for foreign embassies and the United Nations? Liberals love to tar Mr. Limbaugh however they can, but even on drugs, Rush is right. oly |

Here in Canada we stopped printing and withdrew our $1000 notes a few
years ago. The US did it much earlier. For stores to even provide change for these types of notes is tough. Credit and debit cards are the choice for large purchases and cashiers/bank cheques for the those that wish to use them. Christian Feldhaus wrote: oly wrote: Answer: There is no good reason except tax evasion or drugs. Sure, the same darn rotten European governments that tighten money laundering regulations over here also decide to issue such notes in order to encourage tax evasion or to support drug trafficking. Makes a lot of sense to me ... As far as I am concerned, a ¤500 note is not necessary (see my previous reply in this thread). But quite obviously there is some demand for it, and elsewhere in Europe there are even higher value notes. People who buy used cars over here, for example, often pay cash. Some people have limited trust in banks and keep some or even most of their money at home. And so on. There are lots of possible reasons for using high value notes without being a criminal.
