20s worked for me for a while. Now it won’t quite buy me a fill up. But one of the local stations is 5 to 7 cents a gallon cheaper for cash than credit, so I usually just go in and give them a 20 and wait for the pump to shut itself off.

Yes, all they really want is a paper trail to track. Try to avoid leaving a trail, and they will come after you. Leave a trail, and have a legitimate explanation, and that will probably be the end of it.

The strangest thing is that the EU wanted this to replace the US $100 on the international scene. Maybe it was working as intended too well?

I didn’t mean a wash, as in the washing machine...I meant that there does not appear to be any advantage of the dollar over the Euro for convenience, with the big bills gone.

For about the last 8 years Ive carried 50s instead of 20s because up until recently a 20 wouldnt fill the tank.True, but the ATMs I use only issue twenties.

Exactly. If we can’t pay them in cash then we will pay them in lead!

Nope.
Governments are looking for ways to kill off paper, so they can track yer loot, tax it and take it, without sending a SWAT team.

But if you report the 10K plus on their silly form when bringing it in, you can bring cash in and out of the country at will.

Don’t confuse people with facts. People still think the government is going to take over your IRA’s and 401k’s.
