I would have asked on the general board, but I think cost-of-living is higher here, so the answer might be different.  So I am asking here

Do you ladies prefer to go home with 10's, 20's, 50's or 100's ?

I normally do 20's, but when I have multi-hour appointments, the envelope gets a little thick (and therefore annoying to stick in my pocket).

So what is your preference ?  Do you care ?  Do you hate getting 10's (lots to count) and 100's (buying milk at the Whole Foods looks funny)

Who knew? plus I hate having hundreds….no atm shells out hundreds and hard to explain why I am them LOL

This is a fun topic!  

Discretion is the better part of valor.

"It is good to be brave, but it is also good to be careful.; If you are careful, you will not get into situations that require you to be brave."  

I prefer larger bills as they tuck nicer and spend slower. . sometimes The cost of living is high in Boston although because of that (and inflation) 100's are not as difficult to break or a rarity as they used to be. The 50 is the new 20, and the 20 is the new 5! Sad but true.

Times where large bills would be difficult occur when you leave an appointment, previously tucked your wallet away with your credit/debit cards, stranded at the automated parking station doubtful that you will receive exactly 80/100; wishing you had a few "small" so you could get your car and Go! Or. . if you have to stop at a seedy service station late evening and the man has to go in the back. . to the safe. .  to make change... dum dee doo. . . Other than those times. . . its ok!  
 
Continuing with the theme of discretion as the better part of valor, a 6 hour date in "small" going across the dinner table sends a few flags. Should you book something 2 hours and under, it most likely would not apply. We are just happy to show you a great time. . .  
(and take your money with a smile) however you choose to give it to us. .  
Give it to me baby!  

As long as it is not rolled or loose change (now this has never happened luckily)  
It ALL spends the same sweetie!  

Have fun and definitely spend your rainy day fund all in one place!

Sex, politics and finance. . all we need now is religion and I can say that this conversation would clear a room... So back to the business of government and money. . I had researched this in the fall when I was surprised with an envelope of play money so I thought. . So here is what I found out during that time. I hope that it is helpful to you and sways any conspiracies that may linger around the new money. . But ladies, always check your money for authenticity . . even the 20's!  

The new bill was actually delayed 2 years after a couple of batches were sent out and in turn sent back to The Federal Reserve. The latest was out last October. The differences to the bill and the reason for the mix up was the blue ribbon that is supposed to derail counterfeiters woven into the bill as another attempt for security.  
The word security has sent many conspiracy theorists out on what this bill is capable of actually doing. As far as what has been able to be confirmed, there is not a gps tracker in the bill nor does the government know how you made it or how you spent it- and definitely no info on if you've paid taxes on it!  
Benjamin Franklin is still on the front of the bill joined by the blue ribbon.  
This bill was not set forth to track us, but to combat the high-quality fake $100 bills that are being produced (mainly in North Korea).  
Aside from the blue ribbon, other security features include the image of the bell if you look and a large "100" that will change color from copper to green. Try it- tilt it, you'll see! The bill also has another security strip near Franklin's head that you can see when you hold it up to the light like the last design.

So, as of yet this money is not for trickery to get "us" but to protect "U.S."
Should you need assistance checking your 100.00 bills, I am available during the daytime hours. There will be a 100.00 fee per every C-note checked Kiss kiss

ere is a link that you may want to read about the details of the security systems in the money and its exploding qualities (which only happens in some microwaves) and this couples experience with wrapping their money in tinfoil to not set off security alarms etc.  
As much as I love my country, I am very aware that The US Government will use any technology for us as well as against us but until more solid or concrete evidence presents itself I am going with. .  
I love my country. . its not magic money. . I pay taxes. . And I am not scared of Uncle Sam or Big Brother I just want to play and bang on my drums all day! If you have any info that I am not aware of please do share because I really know nothin' about nothin' and there is always something to learn!

no one will notice the tracking devices.

Im not sure what fascinates me most about this photo. .  
Is that Britney Spears? Is that a blur from a fast moving drone? Is that aluminum foil to prevent the security alerts built in the money or a trend?
Well, either way, she is pretty cute.

.... as long as it's all there and the right amount (and not in coins lol) I don't care too much. However so one can carry around less greenbacks the larger the bill denominations the better.

Sounds like a pretty hilarious trip to the bank.

"My money exploded, can I have new ones?"

Come on. Are you one of these people that believes the marathon bombing was all fake too? If you're worried about the government tracking you the more logical place would be via your escort site featuring your unblurred face and tattoos.... Not the $100 bills you earn. I don't meant his to be mean just pointing out the irony in it.

Here is something else that I heard and maybe it can be verified or debunked here.  I heard that there is enough metal in the little strip in the new $100 bill that if you have $10,000 in C-notes it will trigger security at airport TSA stations.  I think it is against the law to take more than $10,000 cash out of the country.  Has anyone else heard this, too?

.... isnt that how the 'chicken ranch' got its name??  LOL!
The idea of showing up with rolled quarters gave me a hoot too!
now that TER is accepting bitcoin, wonder how long it will be before providers do as well?
also, with the advent of smart phones and card readers, surprised more porviders dont go that route- as far as paying with a cc and wanting to remain UTR with transactions, a provider could set herself up as any kind of legit cover business- florist, whatever- so billing on cc would not raise eyebrows-

the new C notes have radio frequency trackers in them of the type used by stores to control inventory loss.

I couldn't find any legit news outlet or even Snopes who usually does a good job of containing rumors to confirm.

But in the meantime, if you do have C notes, it might not be a bad idea to wrap them in tin foil.

I used to carry my hobby cash in my pocket.

When they started the full body scanners, I had to take the cash out and hold it in my hands.  One time I did that I got invited into an interrogation room and was asked why I had so much cash.  My story is that I go to flea markets and cash is king there.  They bought it, but I almost missed my plane.  They probably thought the cash was drug related.

Now I get the cash from ATMs when I'm in the new city.  It's worth the $5 fee at the ATM not to have to go through that again.

I'm curious too, I see ups and downs of having bitcoins, the biggest thing for me is that most of my transactions are in $, so transferring bitcoins back into actual $ adds a layer of hasle I don't feel like dealing with, I'm sure this is the same for providers, unless there are some entrepreneurial ladies out there, which if that's the case, I'd like to meet you and talk business

Why on earth would the government put tracking devices in $100 bills???  

"Echo Base to Agent 009, Echo Base over? We've got a $100 bill leaving 36 Willow St in Norwell that we believe might be heading to Foxwoods Resort and Casino, over?"

"Agent 009 here and in pursuit. Mötley Crüe is playing at Mohegan Sun so I am going to follow the target closely to see where they're headed. Roger that. Do I have authorization to shoot to kill, over?"

RFID is basically going to enable a remote reading of the tag embedded in the currency.  The range is limited to the output power of the reader.  Don't believe the published figures of 2-3 inches.

The question you want to ask yourself is:
  What does this get 'them' (where 'them' is whoever is doing the reading) ?  And how can this be bad for me ?

1) The tags would only be read at locations with the right equipment.
2) Surrounding the tag with a Faraday Cage will not allow it to be read (eg: tin foil)
3) As soon as you use the cash, it may get scanned

Imaginary future scenario:
 - you withdraw the money from the bank.  The tag is read and logged against your Real Name (at a bank maybe?).
 - you give the cash to someone for something
 - they give it to someone else
 - who gives it to someone else
 - at some future point, the tag gets read again and associated with someone else

"They" now have a link between you and some random person and no idea how many "degree's of freedom" between the two... 1 person or 100.

My tin-foil-hat NSA related thoughts:
At some point in the future, I would assume that equipment will be available that will 'check the validity of currency using an online govt database' and it will be available to every bank, mom-and-pop-store and integrated into every ATM.  Every note that gets scanned will be entered into a database...... BUT, will it be viable to store every transaction ?  We are talking about every transaction for every person for each day.  300 million people x 10 notes per day (assumed) = 3 billion transactions/day.  Online advert companies do that number of transactions/day, so it is possible to store and index that!    It still does not solve the problem of the number of DOF's between two readings though...

Did some more digging while writing this and found this patent:  http://www.freshpatents.com/Embedded-rfid-verifiable-currency-dt20090813ptan20090201131.php

Here are some nice lines from the patent:

The basic infrastructure for practice of the invention is also capable of tracking genuine currency following, for example, a theft or other criminal activity. "

Specifically, uniquely customized RFID chips are embedded in at least larger denominations of genuine currency as it is manufactured. The unique customization, preferably corresponding in some way to the serial number and possibly also reflecting the currency series, date and/or the issuing Federal Reserve Bank, can be read by any corresponding RFID chip reader.

Such readers can be located at likely points of transactions such as stores, banks and the like or may be provided at points of inspection of other objects, such as luggage at transportation terminals, customs at points of entry to or exit from a country or the like.

Most of the rest is about finding duplicates created by forgers, etc..

Sorry just teasing you in fun... no disrespect.

Not against the law... provided you declare it!  They may have some questions etc though

Now if you DON'T declare it and get caught... it can be seized.

Its funny, I was waiting for someone to ask this, and its only a matter of time before people will accept this (I think). I am not sure how many people will accept this, but it will happen.  

I also wonder how long it will take for government/banking industries to hop on Bitcoin and begin regulating it. . and would it be retroactive. .  
More research on my end would need to be done and more education on this digital money in order to make a decision. Until then, Cash Talks.
