Boy, some of you guys are real money snobs. The U.S. bills and coins
are primarily here to serve the purpose of commerce, and they work
pretty well. So what if a lot of them aren't worthy of framing.
That's only a secondary consideration.
The attractiveness of current USA papermoney from a collecting point of
view
is a million miles behind Scottish notes. We have very attractive
issues in
a variety of designs/colours and sizes from three different banks that
change fairly regularly.
i would like a list of countrys where american $100 bills
won't be snatched up eagerly.
1) Australia.
('cause I'd lose AUD$8 exchanging it for real spending money)
Anybody else?

Actually, the US $100 probably is a poor choice because of the counterfeit
threat-- perceived and/or real. In the 1990's, before the latest design
change, US overseas travelers choosing to carrying cash were advised to
bring US $50 rather than $100 because many banks and currency exchanges were
not accepting the $100. Too many "supernote" counterfeit $100's at the
time. Even with the design change, that US $100 uneasiness is still out
there in some places.
I will gladly snatch up any US$100 if I can do so legally, like in smashing
a piņata or something.
