Methods of payment

Quick question since I am still somewhat inexpierenced.  

Is it amateur to pay with lower denominations? I'm not talking singles,my fives or tens, but should I be paying with twenties, fifties, or hundreds? I've made trips to the ATM prior and they mostly give out twenties. Is this okay or is this frowned upon?

20s, 50s, 100s, it doesn't matter.

But definitely stay away from the 1s, 5s, and 10s. Lol

Personally I usually pay in larger bills. It is easier to carry, and easier for the lady to discreetly count. (much faster to count 3 bills or 4, or 5, versus 15, 20, 25, etc.

I have found some ATMs that disperse 50s, but usually I just go in the bank to get 100s.  

If you can't do that, a lady is not going to throw you out because you paid her in 20s. :)

Here is a link to a recent duscussiin about this same topic.

No one will mind if you use 20s. Most ATM's give 20s. ...

Larger denominations are nice and when asked many ladies say they like larger denominations to keep down the bulk but none will complain if it's 10s & 20s. Plus at least a few 20s are good because in some situations they're easier to spend/break. Frankly there is no right or wrong just make it easy on yourself. Don't overthink this. Just do it.

Unless it was rolled coins or some such I'd have a problem with it if she objected to the denominations I chose to pay her with.

I don't care if you show up with $500 in Kennedy half dollars.

I mean, it'd be a little heavy, but I'd still be getting paid regardless.

Just what is a real silver dollar worth. That would be one hell of a tip.

I generally give a mix of denominations. Some 20's for spendability, the . . .

rest in 50's and 100's for ease of counting and carrying.

If you give a provider all 100's and she needs to pay the valet, then she will have a problem.

20s

I've never used an atm that dispenses any other denominations other than 20s and I've never had a complaint about it before.

This one takes gold or silver. Maybe other commodities?

This is from the webpage of a popular East Coast provider:

i am also accepting gold & silver in lieu of federal reserve notes. you may pay exclusively in silver, or *established friends* may mix-and-match precious metals with cash (i also accept gold) -- contact me privately for such an arrangement.

please make sure you mention using silver or gold when contacting me.

1 hr ~ 14 oz of silver
1.5 hrs ~ 20 oz of silver
2 hrs ~ 25 oz. of silver
3 hours ~ 1/2 oz. of gold + 5 oz silver
4 hours ~ 1/2 oz. of gold + 10 oz. silver
12-16 hours (overnight)~ 1 oz. of gold
I wonder if she brings a little assay test kit to her locations. I was going to ask her if she'd accept a few barrels of oil or a truckload of soybeans but I don't want to attract attention driving a fork lift through the lobby

Too easyto fool

A lay person. That is why I am forever shy of physical precious metals. But those prices look inline.

I adopted this rule of thumb....

after one time I paid a provider for an overnight in 20s, and it was clear she was not too happy about it.

Under $1,000 I use 20s

$1,000 and up I go with C notes or fifties.

That seems to work out very well.

I get my donation from my bank teller, and

I always ask for 50's.  Since I do same for my rent, I never get a second glance.  Never had a provider complain either.
