I had to move a large account between banks one time and they were right down the street from each other. The bank where I was closing the account wanted to charge me for a cashier's check, so I asked for it in cash instead. I felt like a gangster. Entertained the idea of going home and throwing it all over the bed, but instead just walked it the 2 blocks to the other bank.

I was terrified the whole time!

Next time that happens, I'll call you first! ;D

...piles and piles of MONOPOLY MONEY for rolling around in?  

now, to actually answer the original question:  i've always said its the experience that counts.  it's all about a compelling connection between two (or more! :giggle people.  the bills - whether large or small, it doesn't matter - are the icing on the cake!

All my banks are completely empty these days. The tellers are just standing there waiting for something to do. I usually go max out my ATM limit for the day, then walk up to the counter and ask for bigger bills. They're happy to do it. (I use an awesome Internet bank that reimburses any ATM fee I'm ever charged, so I head to any bank that's convenient. The teller never even asks if I have an account there, though I typically do.)

I was primarily asking the ladies, and we've seen one vote for big bills, so that's what I'll keep doing. Thanks for the discussion, all!

Love filling up my jugs

...thank God I realized it before trying to deposit them at the bank.

Now, I always carry a pen to check and try to stay current with information regarding counterfeiting.
