$1000.00 bills

Anyone got any $1000.00 bills entered?

Looks like only one on the site. Not sure who entered it though.

Saucy-eye, one of the site oldtimers from Vancouver.

I was going to get one once. But there wasn`t any at the bank.

I emailed dr with one I received at work, but that was over a year ago and he hasn't entered it yet.

These bills are now destin for the mint scrap heep and they have stopped making them.
All that the banks get they have been instructed to return (remove from circulation).
I was told it was because they had become the bill of preference by dug dealers and soooo they were removed from print.

Wow … I read your posting here then looked at your profile page and I must say Kayfbee your page is quite a work WOW. Nice job very well done.

Thank you. I have tried to make it interesting, glad you liked it.

Now if only I had more hits, to display.

Yeah. The 1000$ bills were officially given the kybosh in 2000. The RCMP cited money laundering as a problem.
Personally, I liked them, and wish we still had them: a) because I'll probably never get to see one now outside of a collection and b) because I just thought they were cool and we were one of the few countries with a currency of this high a value that still made them.
Also, it's a lot easier to carry or have large sums of money. Ten bills versus one is a big difference. Of course, this has it's good and bad sides…e.g. the drug dealers…
Although I like the thousands, I wonder if they have considered, or whether they ever would consider, a 500$ bill. We had one way back in the thirties, and the Euro comes in a 500 denomination (remember, their currency's of an even higher value than the US!). Any thoughts about a 500$ bill?
(Hope it hasn't already been discussed?)
