I see all these threads about how great $100 bills are, but I really like my $5 bills, they always work fine for me, so it it all just hype? Is there really anything about $100 bills that makes them so much better than $5 bills, or is it just snobbery? |

The only time I see having a Benjamin worthwhile is when you have a crapload of blow. I hear that something like up 95% of all 100 bills contain traces of cocaine.

Both the techniques used for manufacture and the quality of materials are exactly the same between the two. If you plan on keeping them, the only advantage the $100 bill has is that you get to brag about it being a $100 bill. It's not until you decide to part with it that it's full potential is realized, and at that point you no longer have a $100 bill to brag about.

It's all about paying with what is appropriate. All those fancy hundred dollar bills aren't going to make you a better spender. I'd rather have 4 twenties than one $100.
Besides, Jaco only needed $4 bills. |

However its still the most counterfeitted bill in the world and IIRC there are only 3 or 4 of the 1000 or so tells that haven't been broken yet by counterfieters.

|  | The older I get, the better I was. | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pasadena, CA | | | I'm more of a fan of the $20 bill, personally. $5's are a bit on the small side and it gets too bulky to carry around a decent amount of cash ($100-ish) in you wallet. $100's strike me as a touch pretentious, and a lot of places get irritated with having to make change or won't take them at all. Yep. I like the Jackson. |

Well, when you as rich as I am and you carry around $5,000 in pocket change, it doesn't make any sense to carry $5 Bills, I'd never be able to fit them all in my wallet. It makes absolutely no sense what so ever 
As it is carrying around 50 one hundred dollar bills is enough trouble..

[/Ridiculous Sarcasm] | I know a couple people who walk around with $2,000 - $3,000 in their pocket for "petty cash" for the weekend. To each their own. I have a hard time having ANY cash in my pocket. |

It's heavy but it defined THE sound of jingling pockets. There's nothing like the power of 20,000 nickels banging into each other as you walk. |
