At the airport for carrying cash.  

Nevertheless, it is a good idea for a woman not to be carrying a lot of cash on her. (Not because she will get stopped at the airport, but because of theft, and general safety.)

There are tons of ways to get money home other than handing it to some person and having them write you a check. Many ladies who I know who tour here, send their money back. I know one gal who wires the money to her mom, another who wires it to a friend, one who wired it to her bank, another who actually opened a bank account here, and deposits it in her local account. She then gets a cashier's check before going home, or does a bank transfer to her home bank, before or after returning home, always leaving a minimum balance in this bank to keep her account active. You can also get money orders, and cashier's checks, from various legit sources that I would trust a lot more than handing some person my cash in exchange for a personal check. Another way is to buy gift cards and load them.

Most ATMs dispense Andrew Jacksons. That is often OK, but there have been times when the white envelope was bulging... Before something else :-)

On a couple of occasions, I have used higher currency without problems.

Was curious on what people thought. Remember seeing a thread a while back on fake $100s being circulated.

Gals should always be on the lookout for phony money and know how to spot it.

There are on line tutorials on how to do this.  A small ultra violet light could come in handy

I just use whatever I grab from the bank, my bookie (whenever I collect) or the ATM. As long as I don't show up with a wheelbarrow full of rolled up coins, I think I am on pretty safe ground.

I will agree that carrying around a grand or more in twenties can be a bit much, but I can't remember the last time I needed anywhere near that much to pay to a provider.

Minimal # of bills.  A simple scan rather than taking time to count

...one provider who said: "Fifties are easier to spend than hundreds."  After I stopped laughing, she said that she meant fifties were easier to break in the stores in which she shopped.  I replied: "Fifties are easier to spend, but hundreds are easier to save."

...large bills, $100 or $50. For an escort, twenties  are like dollar bills to a stripper. Who wants to deal with a fistful of bills at the end of the day?

six of the seven responses have been from men.  I'd more like to hear from the recipients of the bills than the givers

I don't think it should matter. As long as it all adds up to the final number any of these denominations should be welcome.    I usually end up with a mix and I've never gotten it thrown back at me, and I'm always welcomed back.  And I generally pay more than $1k.  It's a lot of cash to hand to someone; I'd just be glad someone is willing to pay it regardless of the denominations.

Rolled coins but coins nevertheless.  Cash in any paper form is perfectly fine.  Please no coins

Personally I prefer carrying less bills so I use Franklins and Grants. However it depends what I have available. If it's a last minute thing and I have no large bills, then smaller bills it is. In 30 plus years I have never had a provider complain about (or even mention) the denomination of the bills I have given her. By the way, there are ATMs that dispense fifties and hundreds if you know where to look.
