Does anyone else think it’s a little backwards that the large denominations are fragile paper bills, but the small ones are metal coins sometimes worth less than the metal in the coin? Shouldn’t the large denominations be coins, which last longer, and the small denominations be bills, which are easier to carry in large quantities?
Lol, could you imagine if it was this way in the movies when people are carrying around millions in briefcases? Just suitcases full of coins making all kinds of noise.
