  2. Eliminate the $100 bill? Seems like incrementalism towards a cash-less society. Wasn’t the “reason” similar to eliminating the $1000 bill? Today the $100, next up is the $50, etc.

  3. I liked the Editor’s Quote of the Day concerning indecision. I once heard it said that indecision is the reason that so many streets and highways are paved with flat squirrels.

  4. 95% of our transactions are with cash.
    Anyone who has suffered credit card numbers stolen or worse yet identity theft understands. There are thousands of stinking thieves just waiting for you to use you CC so they can skim the number and off they go to purchase $90.00 gift cards at self service terminals in big box stores.

    We use prefer $100.00 bills for our routine monthly transactions. As was previously noted inflation is real.

  5. Eliminate the $100 dollar bill ? If there were no $100 dollar bills, it would have taken FIVE TIMES as many pallets of bills and giant airplanes for the Obama to give all that cash to the mullahs in IRAN ! Talk about global warming! OH, THE HUMANITY !
    Actually, WE ARE The ones who will be needing pallets of cash at the grocery store if the FED continues to suck our economy dry as it has for the past 106 years. The treasury should bring back the $500 and $1000 bills.

  6. Lee- Banks currently record the serial numbers of and track $100 and $50 bills as they come in and go out, per Federal law. If you want true anonimity, you must use $20 bills and lower. Many people do not know that.

    1. Besides that many stores don’t accept anything bigger than a 20. That’s all I use.
      I had read (probably on here?) that banks record serial numbers on the bigger bills.
      .
      Interesting, I recently watched an episode of Alfred Hitchcock where the hit man was paid with a thousand dollar bill. Of course these were all filmed c. 1960, before the bills were taken out of circulation.
      .
      Just for the heck of it I’m going to ask our branch manager why they record the serial numbers. Could be interesting. It’s a regional bank that we have been dealing with for 35 years. They know I’m a character.

    2. Did not know that,gives a way to refute if a bank gives out a counterfeit bill(has happened to aquaintences). Don’t forget to ask for the “cash discount”3-5% for no transaction fee for card purchases

  8. My f150 has a 35 gallon gas tank. 100 dollars fills it. My grocery cart at wallmart. 100 dollars fills it. Dinner and drinks plus movie and popcorn. 100 dollars pays it. A one hundred dollar bill today is a 20 dollar bill from 1960. The purpose behind ridding Americans from large bills is control. Taxing, surveillance of wealth, and ease of movement are liberties allowed by cash.

    1. A one hundred dollar bill today is a 20 dollar bill from 1960.

      I would posit that it is more akin to a $10 bill from 1960 (the year I said “Hello World!”)

  9. Maybe the recent influx of hundreds has more to do with the missing billions in hundreds from the insane wars in the middle east. Pallets of money, virtually all $100 bills, went missing from Iraq, in particular. It could be showing up now. Or another possibility is the nearly flawless counterfeit hundreds fabricated by the Chinese (and maybe North Korea).

    I used to keep money hidden, 100’s, 50’s, 20’s, 10’s, 5’s, and 1’s. Now it’s just 20’s, 10’s, 5’s, and 1’s. I decided it was just going to be too easy to get hung out to dry if the FED and the US treasury decided to stop production of the 50’s and 100’s. Those folks know a lot about corruption, they have made it an art form.
