I've spent a few Canadian $1000 bills in the past, but it was on purpose I
had them, but $100 notes would have been just fine to use as well. Once was
to buy a ticket to Australia ($2100) and a couple times it was to pay off a
loan. The most fun was to buy a case of beer, they had lots of money in the
till and the girl selling the beer wanted the $1000 so I used it.

I miss the thousand, not because they have taken it out of circulation, just
because it seems I never have enough at one time to get one.

Otherwise you could be mistaken for a drug dealer or, even
worse, one of those rotten Europeans by some g. I hardly ever use a
¤200 note, and the only time I have ever owned a ¤500 note was three
years ago - when I specifically asked for one at the bank, just because
I was curious.

On the other hand, we have "always" had 1000 DM notes in Germany. That
would be about 511 euro now - but 30 or 40 years ago, a thousand marks
would buy you much more of course. Similarly, the Swiss have a 1000 CHF
note - worth about 647 euro ...

I once saw someone spending a $1000 bill in Canada, at that time it was
worth about ¤500. That is the largest bill I have seen that was actually
being used, it was in a Casino of course, someone wanting change for it.
