A chance for new $500 and possibly $200 Federal Reserve Notes?
Here we go again. How I love annoying some of you guys with this
issue, however, those who are serious with me, I'd like to talk $200 and $500 bills with you. Okay, the Obama Administration and Treasury are printing more and more $100 bills, as time goes by, the demand gets higher, so, does anyone here think that, maybe after they print a large amount of the colorized NexGen $100 bills, that, maybe they will consider printing at least $500 bills again, if not $200 bills? I wrote my Congressmen on issuing new $200, $500, and $1,000 bills again, just because of the fact of the demand for $100 bills steadily rising. So, I know we've been though this talk before, but, with the increasing demand for $100 bills overseas, where there are 200 and 500 Euro notes, does anyone here think that maybe, in around 2011 or so, we may get a $500 bill back into circulation? As I said, if they are cranking out larger and larger ammounts of $100 bills, a $500 bill would seem more practical, cost effective, and easier to keep up with the demand for U.S. currency. I also did write a letter to President Obama about issuing new $200, $500, and $1,000 bills, not only to keep up with the demands for U.S. currency overseas, but also to help with inflation for those (like me) who prefer to use paper over plastic. I will post the reply here when I get it, as I always do. Oh, and I don't care if they put my name in the "This guy is a nutcase file" and my letters in the "circular file" as some of you may call it. Tom |

I'd be surprised if any answered that they would go to the bank for a bill of that denomination (assuming all these amounts were available). Also, I doubt you could document evidence of a significant increase in demand for $100 bills among the population. I would imagine that these bills last for many years longer than ones, fives, and tens.

So are you saying that the increasing demand for $100 bills is from overseas? From foreign nationals or from US citizens? $50 bills can't satisfy this demand? Last time I was overseas, the banks and cambios were more reluctant to accept our $100 bills than lesser denominations.

Here's a thought. Let's encourage large bills in order to use the paper we'll save by NOT printing $1 bills. That'll encourage using $1 coins and save money... Wait, never mind, that wouldn't contribute to the Obama "drive America into bankruptcy" plan. Jerry |

Tom Would you actually walk down the street with a $1000 or $500 bill in your pocket? And feel safe about it? This is why banks invented personal checks, oh so many years ago. People do not like walking around with large amounts of cash on them. |

Would you actually walk down the street with a $1000 or $500 bill in your pocket? *And feel safe about it? As a matter of fact, yes, I would walk down the street with a $500, or $1,000 bill in my pocket. Who needs to know its even on me? What? Do you think I'm going to go walking down the street singing "I got a $1,000 bill in my pocket, do da, do da" or talk about having a huge amount of money, to anyone? The point is, I would feel MUCH safer caryying a couple $1,000 bills, than a bunch of $100 bills bulging in my pocket. Thieves will see that bulge, and think or know that you are carrying a wad of cash. I would like to put a couple $1,000s in my wallet, and call it a day. No need to let anyone now I'm carry it. The only real time I could see a mugger get you, is if they see you pay for a $500 or less purchase, and you pay with a $1,000 bill, and the mugger sees the cashier hand you a $500 bill or a $100 and a couple $200s and some other odd change back, then waits to steal that remaining $500 and some dollars from you.

Tom Get over it "dud". The federal government has spent billions of $$$ in the last eight years to combat "money laundering". Issuing a new $500 or $200 would be the same as shooting all those efforts in the foot. Ain't gonna happen (that is, short of an overtly hyerinflationary scenario). When you send these sorts of "letters" to Congresspersons, you're likely getting placed on a list of dubious persons who need to be "rounded up" in the event of a "national emergency". oly |

You're walking down the street and get mugged. Would you rather have on you a) $23.14 and a plastic comb b) A wallet with a plastic credit card that you can neuter with your cell phone as soon as the robbery is over. c) a $1000, two $500 and one $200 bills. |
