They are a total pain in the axx to businesses they require special handling and counting, do the businesses a favor use $ 1 dollar bills. Believe me they don’t enjoy your little idiosyncrasy.

You are probably the only one.

Back in the early 70's, the City of Norfolk VA was up in arms about the Navy's presence in the city. They were making it as difficult as possible for the service. At the time, the Navy always paid sailors in cash. The disbursing folks came up with a great idea. One payday, they paid all the sailors in the area in two-dollar bills. They flooded the economy with them. The noise about throwing the Navy out of the area precipitously died a quick death. Local establishments and businesses suddenly realized the economic impact on the area should the Navy leave. It was funny to hear the local politicians, who were vehemently supporting the divorce from the Navy, were suddenly backtracking and preaching the benefits of our presence in the area.

I almost never use cash for anything. I get points on my credit card and have a record of all my spending.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've used cash in the past year. I use my phone most of the time.

A few years ago stories like this got me to seek $2 bills from my bank. I would use them for tips and other small purchases.

Many years ago we went to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. The entry fee was (I think) $18, so they could give you a $2 bill in change.
If you haven’t looked it up the $2 has Jefferson’s bust on the front and the Trumbull painting “Declaration of Independence” on the back. |

$10,000 bill
Early in my career, I worked for a financial company that frequently had a booth at financial trade shows. They always had a $10,000 bill on display to pull in people. Today, a $10,000 bill can go for up to $150,000.
