1-2-5 is the sequence of our money, and has been for a long time. 1-2-5-10-20-50-100. The 500 and 1000 bills have not been in circulation for a long time. Had she tried to use a $50 (Grant) bill they would probably have done the same thing, since they are not very common. $2 bills haven’t been very common, (except at race tracks?), for a while, but people SHOULD KNOW BETTER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE COLLEGE EDUMACATED...............(sic)
“SHOULD KNOW BETTER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE COLLEGE EDUMACATED”
Don’t get me started. I explain to college grads that the license plate holder on their car which states “I’m an alumni of....” is the masculine plural of the word. You are either an alumnus (masculine singular) or an alumna (feminine singular). A minor point to be sure, but reading Latin was a requirement of colleges back in the real old days.
Not aware that there was ever a $200 bill. I think at one time there were actually $10,000 and $50,000 bills as well.
On another note, if you visit Monticello in Charlottesville, VA, they give you $2 bills for change.
It was my understanding that $1000 bills were used solely for inter-bank transfers and for an individual to possess one would be very rare.
Now of course all inter-bank transfers ate electronic and thus they are superfluous.
