Large denomination bills will be back although they’ll be backed by the derivatives that Paulson is buying up. We’ll need them for the inflation that is coming.

That’s actually a real $500 featuring William McKinley. People have rarely seen it, or the:
$1,000 bill featuring a portrait of Grover Cleveland
$5,000 bill featuring a portrait of James Madison
$10,000 bill featuring a portrait of Salmon P. Chase
$100,000 bill featuring a portrait of Woodrow Wilson

Before electronic funds transfers they were used to move money between banks.

I saw the $10,000 in Las Vegas, there were a number of them on display at a casino and they were gold certificates unlike the $500 which was a Federal Reserve note [IOU] like today’s money.

They are worth more to collectors than their face value, and I distorted the bill I used, as they were bigger and not in the same proportion as what we carry around today.
