$20s. Anything higher, some places might not want to give change for them unless you’re paying an amount close to the denomination of the bill.
$20, I can’t even remember the last time I saw a $50
$20. Too many places won’t take anything higher (and I don’t blame them one bit. I got $120 from an ATM once, and specifically told it to give me jacksons–and it gave me a $20 and a benjamin. I was, like, what the fuck am I going to do with this? I was going to take it to the bank when it was open and have a teller break it, but fortunately the customer service desk at the grocery store was able to break it). And i keep a bunch of singles for tips.
I like to give out $2 bills for tips. People always get kinda excited when they get them.
I was giving a colleague Sacajawea dollars to put under her kid’s pillow for lost teeth. The kid thought they were awesome.
Be careful incentivizing the kids too much with the tooth fairy
LOL!!
$20, but to be fair it was the same 30 years ago. Today, that’s worth almost $50, so places really shouldn’t have trouble breaking a 50
The ATM typically gives $20s, so that’s what I usually get.
Most places won’t take higher than a $20, so on the rarest occasions that I do carry cash, that’s it. Trivia: $50s are considered bad luck in Vegas, so don’t be handing those out.
Do you live in Vegas?
I wonder how that happened.
The only places I know of in my neck of the woods that accept bills larger than a $20 are the weed dispensaries, and that’s just because they are only allowed to accept cash.
The ATM gives $50s, so I use those, but I prefer $20s as they are taken anywhere.
I’ve had a $45 bill and them tell me they can’t take a fifty.
Typically I use $20s but 50 and 100 have been used.
I don’t use much cash, so I end up with 20s from the ATM when I do need cash. When I receive cash it’s usually other people’s ATM 20s or hundreds they can’t get rid of. I hang on to the hundreds until it’s time to pay my piano teacher.
How good is this piano teacher?
She is good, but it’s for like 2 or 3 months, not each lesson 😄
You see human beings have this problem, they tend to die without food or when forced to live out in the elements. And dont get me started on clothing and healthcare.
It is her sole occupation so it does need to cover everything! Support the arts, people!
Well on my last trip I was using 500’s for most purchases. I felt like a rich man. However I was an American in Mexico using local currency. I had quite a few US 100’s when I got there that was used to pay for my diving and lodging.
When I was in Jamaica it was mostly 1000’s.
In the US it’s usually 20’s when I have cash because that is what the ATM’s around here tend to give.
I do a lot of Marketplace/Craigslist deals so in terms of total cash volume I probably handle $100 the most.
Day to day it’s $20 and $5. Getting places to break a $50 is hard.
$20. Only thing I regularly use cash for these days is weed and haircuts.
Most to least used $20, $50, $5, $10, $100
Hondos. I’m a waitress and have to break one multiple times a week. I usually save them up to use at music festivals.
