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.
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.
...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?

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.
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.

I won't trust either my carry-on or checked luggage with cash, so I keep it in my pockets, but now with those damn X-Ray machines, you have to take it out and hold it in your hands.
One time I did, I was invited into a cubicle and asked why I had the dough. I said I buy antiques (true) and cash is king. They were dubious, but let me go. I just made my plane. So now, despite the ATM fees, I get my cash when I get to the city I'm headed for. For you gals who have to bring home the bacon, I suggest giving the dough to someone you know well in the city you are leaving, and then have them write a check to you. I know it will mean a bank record, but flying with it is risky
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.
...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."
about civil and criminal asset forfeiture, often simply seizing large amounts of cash and relying entirely on the victim to prove the origin and legitimacy of the cash.
Asset Forfeiture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_forfeiture United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._$124,700_in_U.S._Currency I could list thousands of cases, ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars seized from ordinary citizens with no basis by the US government. In essence, the premise is one of rebuttable presumption - the asset is presumed to be gained illegally and thus subject to forfeiture, until such time as an individual proves it is gained legally. Much of civil/administrative law operates on the principle of rebuttable presumption.
