You want what!?

[Anakah]

This isn't really sucky but more odd...

OW:Odd woman
Me: The cashier of the month (Like really and woot to it!)


Me: Okay, its 1000.
(She had ten black chips)

OW: I want one five hundred and the rest in hundreds.

Me: You want five hundred in twenties?

Ow: no!

Me: You mean a $500 chip?

(Which I have to ask permission to get that out of the back and we don't normally just exchange chips)

OW: NO! (I could tell she was getting annoyed) I want a five hundred dollar bill!

Me: Um, I don't think those exist... (or rather they're extinct)

OW: Fine. I want a thousand dollar bill.

Me: We don't have those either.

Ow: What do you have!?

Me: Hundreds are the largest bills we carry.

OW: FINE. I want hundreds!

She kept giving me that look... The look like I was the moron.

I paid her and looked over at my co worker: You heard that right?

We were both our asses off. She was full on serious about both bills. I kept my face straight throughout the whole thing. She was kind of a bitch about it, getting snippy with me but it was just so funny.

Cranky much? I've never seen a 500$ bill...

She wanted Monopoly Money.

And Nyuu-chan is one of the cutest anime girls of all time, even giving Chii a run for her money. ^.^

the $500 used to exist, but that was a long time ago.

I saw a $500 bill once when I was on an elementary school field trip to the local bank. The bank kept it well under lock and key (obviously) and took great pride in showing it to the various tours.

The largest bill in general circulation is the $100.

Did she really think she'd be able to spend a $1000 bill anywhere? Most places give you a hard enough time with hundreds.

(And yes, that's a rhetorical question.)

People have enough trouble spending a two dollar bill!

[freaktard]

I saw a $10,000 bill once. I think it was on display at the Smithsonian or somewhere.

[simpleyme]

I would say the lady was a bank owner and forgot that those bills are not available to the general public

How much does anyone want to bet she would have raced down to the nearest convenience store/Walmart and tried to use it to buy a pack of gum?

I'm Canadian, and I once held a $1,000 bill in my hands.

I was taking money out of the bank to walk next door and give it to the computer store to buy a computer, and the cashier smiled and said 'You know, we just got a new $1,000 bill in... would you like one?'

Hell YES!

Of course, when I handed it to the salesguy at the computer storew, he had to go BACK to said bank to verify it was real. But it was really neat holding such a large denomination bill in my hands, if just for a few minutes.

[PepperElf]

I can honestly say I once held a bill that was 100,000... but it was in ¥ not $...
(that's close to $100, lol)

[QASlave]

I've held both a $10,000 and a $100,000 bill. A friend of mines Dad was the current bank president (family owed bank, guess what friend is now?) in a small town and he let us see the bills in the safe one day.

$100 is the largest bill currently in circulation. This happened in the late 70's. (I know, I'm old.)
