I guess I am old-fashioned; I like cash. Sure miss the days when I had $1000 and $500 bills (1990’s).
I expect a worldwide currency to follow the next big global financial crisis (before that, Venezuela-type stuff). Before that I would expect individual nations to go cashless (see Sweden in article). But it’s a lot of speculation right now.
I would NOT presume to give you a date nor a timeline for that; this is simply to note we’re coming up on a generation that might not have ever used much, if any cash. Indeed a few of them don’t know they can unlock their car door with a key; so they’re in big trouble if the battery dies in the remote. My mid-2000 Japanese car (Hey UAW, stop supporting Democrats) only has a key-lock on the driver’s side of the car. I guess a lot of them have gone to that.
Not sure how you were using $500 and $1000 bills on the ‘90s since they went out of circulation around 1934
Dude, are you sure? The $500 and $1000 bills were last printed in 1945, and were "officially discontinued" in '69.
My daddy worked in a tiny branch bank from the mid-50s onward and managed to tuck away just a few.
Either you are thinking of the homemade bills you were xeroxing at the time, or you are truly a saver! lol....
