[quote=UCGal]If I’d received it in a legitimate transaction (from bank, or as payment for something I sold for example) I would use it. After all – when I accepted it – I assumed it had full face value…
I don’t like $100 bills – too hard to use. I’d use it at the grocery store (which takes them) or deposit it.[/quote]
Actually, the most popular bill to counterfeit is $20, because for the very reason that $100 is often suspected of being so.
I find $100 bills useful on occasions for moving from one account to the one that’s linked to my mortgage on the occasions that I forget to e-transfer before the due date, since banks don’t hold cash (just checks).
