    Off the high horse.

    You shouldn't be so grumpy.

    He's probably so grumpy because he was the manager :)

    I'm willing to bet that my 6-year-old niece has never seen a $2 bill. I'm not going to wave them in front of her and treat her like a dumbass because she's unfamiliar with them. It's not realistic to expect people to trust things that are so uncommon.

    Exactly. Thanks.

    I guess most of you work for the man, so you don't have to deal with the public. If someone handed you a $2 bill and you had never seen or heard of it, you wouldn't accept it.

    I don't think it's funny. Sorry. Laughing at people because they don't know something is rude, to say the least.

    If you live in the US, you should have a clue about what is and what isn't legal tender.

    Would you accept a $500, $1,000, or $5,000 bill? It's legal tender, so I'd hope so.

    Hell yes i personally would. The reason why, and this is from the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing:

    "United States currency denominations above $100 are not available from the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.
    These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today; however, most notes still in circulation are probably in the hands of private numismatic dealers and collectors. If you are interested in purchasing or learning more about these larger denominations, more resources may be available online or at your local library.
    The largest note ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the $100,000 Gold Certificate, Series 1934. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury. These notes were used for transactions between FRBs and were not circulated among the general public." http://moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/largedenominations.html
