You people and your f%#@*&^ plastic. William McKinley, GroverCleveland, James Madison, and Salmon P. Chase, where are you when we needyou?!
I guess its pointless to explain again, but, my mom is getting raped
over $2,000 again on credit fraud. Of course she isn't going to pay it, but its more trouble than its worth, from a credit card my mom did NOT even have. Gee..I wonder how bad it would be to carry around those few of those more convenient, fraud proof $500 bills over a stupid credit card? You are not necessarily going to get mugged. How many people do you hear about getting mugged with an even more noticible wad of $100 bills, than a few $500 bills would be? Now, honestly, do you REAAAAALLYY, want to go to a cashless society with all of this fraud? And actually "think" about this question before answering. I am almost 29 years old, and if I live a full healthy life, I hope I NEVER, EVER see a cashless society before I die. Wait for me to die, then you can have all of the credit, debit and checks that you want, but, until then, reissue the $500, $1,000 and add a $200, as I will always preach. Also, the game show "Let's Mak A Deal" is back on the air, so we now need new $200, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 bills, and let's add $200 and $2,000 bills with it so that the new show can be the same as the old version where they were actually giving out large bills as prizes (I've seen a $5,000 bill being offered on the old Let's Make A Deal, and the host said that the bank told him "Take good care of that $5,000 bill. Its the only one on this side of the country") And serioulsy, wouldn't it be exciting to go on a game show and win a $10,000 bill? I sure would love it. |

Of course she isn't going to pay it, but its more trouble than its worth, from a credit card my mom did NOT even have. Of course getting robbed of $2,000 cash would involve much less paperwork. Gee..I wonder how bad it would be to carry around those few of those more convenient, fraud proof $500 bills over a stupid credit card? Lose your stupid credit card, cancel it, and get a replacement. Lose your $500 bill, you can put an ad in the local paper describing it and wait by the phone. You are not necessarily going to get mugged. How many people do you hear about getting mugged with an even more noticible wad of $100 bills, than a few $500 bills would be? Unless you live in a very small town, you'll probably never read about anyone getting mugged anymore, regardless of what they happened to be carrying. Would a mugging be less painful if you were carrying a $1,000 bill rather than ten $100's? Or how about a credit card? Now, honestly, do you REAAAAALLYY, want to go to a cashless society with all of this fraud? And actually "think" about this question before answering. I am almost 29 years old, and if I live a full healthy life, I hope I NEVER, EVER see a cashless society before I die. Wait for me to die, then you can have all of the credit, debit and checks that you want, but, until then, reissue the $500, $1,000 and add a $200, as I will always preach. Sorry you seem to be exposed to so much fraud. And I'm glad you are able to maintain a lifestyle that would make it more convenient for you to carry $500 and $1,000 bills around instead of wads of useless $100's. If you're 29, I'd be more than glad to wait around for you to die a natural death, as long as you could ensure that I would stay healthy during the wait. I hope you don't really mean that we all can't use our credit cards or checks until after you die. Please give the few of us who don't need $500 and $1,000 bills a break. Also, the game show "Let's Mak A Deal" is back on the air, so we now need new $200, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 bills, and let's add $200 and $2,000 bills with it so that the new show can be the same as the old version where they were actually giving out large bills as prizes (I've seen a $5,000 bill being offered on the old Let's Make A Deal, and the host said that the bank told him "Take good care of that $5,000 bill. Its the only one on this side of the country") And serioulsy, wouldn't it be exciting to go on a game show and win a $10,000 bill? I sure would love it. You're right. The return of Let's Make a Deal is one factor I hadn't considered that should tip the balance toward reissue of $5,000 and $10,000 bills. I'll wait here while you compose another letter. |

The "Let's Make a Deal" part was actually a joke. I just said it to see what other people would say. I know its no good reason to bring back big bills. |

The removal of large bills was a failed experiment of Nixon's "War on Drugs," a primarily political exercise that didn't work. Now that those who launder money to buy drugs are rich people like Rush Limbaugh, why not eliminate the hypocrisy and restore the convenience of large bills, retaining credit as an option for those who prefer it. Nobody is going to prosecute rich people for their drug use so let's drop the pretense. |

I get "cash back" when I use my credit card (granted only 1.5%, but) and the protection of using a CC, when you use cash there is no recourse if the transaction goes bad! |

Almost any bank in Europe will freely distribute banknotes up to 500 Euros. I suspect that this property is one that helps make Euros more valuable than dollars just now. Note that Europe's problems with counterfeits are significant and most shops will not accept anything over 100, and many are reluctant to take anything over 50. |

We have inadvertantly avoided that problem here in the US by producing dollar coins that don't circulate. |

If Obama continues to hand out $250 stimuli to struggling groups in our society, there might be a use for a $250 bill before the bigger ones are printed. |
