New $100 bill

Time to replace the ones under the mattress.

 

They're not there anymore, man. Check!

 

Kind of odd how the $100 is the last bill to get redesigned (well, other than the $1 and $2 bills.).

 

Is it just me or should we have $200, $500, or $1000 bills? $100 as the largest bill made sense when things cost 5 cents, but not anymore...

 

I was looking closely at that bill.... Oh, there's some crazy ****, man. There's a dude in the bushes. Has he got a gun? I dunno! RED TEAM GO, RED TEAM GO.

 

Agreed.

 

well with most people using credit/debit cards, it would seem like overkill.

It would be interesting to see how much cash is actually carried by people today vs 10, 20, 30 years ago. I try to keep cash on me but there are times when i do days with no bills in my pocket and i just use debit card.

Hell, sometimes even if i have cash i will use a debit card because it's usually faster than having the person behind the counter count change.

 

You be creepin' me out, homes......

 

True. I always carry cash on me but just about $200. Twenties are all I need.

 

It's like getting paid to watch Avatar!

 

I don't know, but Mattress Mac seems to be happy with 1/2 dollar bills.

 

Why you carry that much $ in your wallet? No one does. And a $200 bill doesn't make sense.

 

Agreed. Unless you're on your way to purchase a large amount of drugs or guns why would you be carrying around THOUSAND dollar bills? And a $200 bill IS silly, you can't just carry two hundos?? I think the status-quo is fine here.

 

It's more important that they make them different sizes for the blind. It will also harder to do the 5 to 100 dollar counterfeit trick. But, this will probably cost a lot to retool the minting machines. Vending machines will have problems too.

 

I charge everything on my American Express (as long as they accept American Express). Anything from $1.25 for coffee to expensive electronic equipment. SPG points FTW...

 

WHY DID THOSE IDIOTS DECIDE TO PRINT A ONE-HUN'RD DOLLAR BIOLL WITH 'SPECIMEN' written on it?!?!?! Gosh, they're styupid.

Sincerely,

 

Hey, a little less time re-designing 5's and 100's every two weeks and a little more time regulating banks?

 

I have to admit it was getting old use to new $100s.

Oh, my bad, it wasn't, because this was the second major redesign of the $100 since 1929.

Oh, and dammit, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing needs to get on bank reform pronto!
