Last Night...this morning...now
 
2012-05-12 02:58:02 PM
This morning. I am a mostly cash person and these keep my wallet from being as thick.
 
2012-05-12 02:58:02 PM
I used some a couple of months ago when I got them after cashing out at a casino. That seems to be the going theme here.
 
2012-05-12 02:58:06 PM
People still use hard currency? Huh...

100s I usually only deal with at birthdays and Christmas.

but here are two money-related CSBs:

1) my father claimed he bought my mom's engagement ring with a $1000 bill, and that he had to sign it out of the bank, like it had a little certificate or something, and he had to take the certificate with for the jeweler to sign it into his possession, and then the jeweler basically had to just take it back to the bank and sign it back in. (Probably one of the earlier signs my mom should have had that my dad could be a serious douche.) I have no idea if the story's true at all.

2) a couple months ago I had to take my ID out of its little plastic window in my wallet to get it swiped, and there was a $50 bill behind it. I have no recollection of placing it there, although it seems like something I would do, in case I really needed to have some cash. Yet, when I think about it, where would I break a $50 in the middle of the night? I've never taken a cab, do they even take $50s?

YouPeopleAreCrazy: Run a concession booth at any major sporting event. NASCAR/NFL/MLB. Some asshat will pay for a $4 hot dog with a hundred.

What's so "asshat" about that? Some people get paid in cash, and most people take home more than $100 you'd think. You have to break the $100 somewhere.

Plus... is it really that big of a deal to break a $100 compared to a $20. $96 in bills isn't much harder than $16 in bills. Like 3 seconds more work. Unless you're bad at counting.

xip_80: I used some a couple of months ago when I got them after cashing out at a casino. That seems to be the going theme here.

Yes, indeed it is part of the "experience" they're attempting to set. People feel like they've won more if they're given $100s rather than 5 times the number of $20's

Paid off an escort. So uh... last week?
 
2012-05-12 03:02:43 PM
Really any casino regular, whether in Vegas or not, is likely to have some $100s.

I only have them when I visit my mom, and she insists on paying for a hotel or flight or something. She still walks into the bank and talks to someone called a "teller" who hands her cash, typically in $100s (probably because she asks for them).
 
2012-05-12 03:02:43 PM
every time I cash my check I get all $100s then spend them til they are gone. The only time I use a credit card is to order stuff off the internet.
 
2012-05-12 03:02:48 PM
Once or twice a week.
 
2012-05-12 03:03:20 PM
Two hours ago, at Hinge in Philadelphia.
 
2012-05-12 03:04:12 PM
All the time. I work for a bank, we have a surprising amount of people who like hundreds.
 
2012-05-12 03:04:19 PM
All the time. I buy and sell car parts and the accepted medium of commerce around here is the $100 bill.
 
2012-05-12 03:04:52 PM
I think I last held a $100 bill maybe two or three years ago. I last used one possibly in 1999.

Last used a $50 circa 2004-2006.


shiat, I haven't had a $20 on me in about six or seven weeks.
 
2012-05-12 03:05:03 PM
I used one a few minutes ago doing lines.
 
2012-05-12 03:06:08 PM
Hardly ever, I try to avoid getting and using them. Retail folk seem to freak out when you try to use them. Worries cleaning out their change drawer and counterfeit bills abound. Lots of business here in N Florida have signs up that say "No $100 Bills, Please"
 
2012-05-12 03:06:30 PM
I run a casino, so I'm really getting a kick...

Our ATM dispenses $20's & 100's. We go to the bank several times a week to get 100's.

Generally, $50's are despised in the poker industry. When they do come in, we can't get rid of them. I can't remember the last time I spent a $50.

And if I don't have at least 3-4 $100's in my pocket, I kinda feel naked.
 
2012-05-12 03:07:06 PM
Using 100 Euro bills all the time. Won't even get 15 gallons of gas for that.

I do like the pimping 500 Euro bills though. Nice purple colour.
 
2012-05-12 03:07:18 PM
usually for prescriptions or filling up the car. So, Tuesday?
 
2012-05-12 03:07:31 PM
work for the U.S. Mint.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about.

This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

Cuz some Farkers believe anything they hear.
 
2012-05-12 03:07:50 PM
been a few years - used it to buy weed. The ATM near the dealer's house spat it out. I was somewhat surprised to hear that he actually appreciated the higher denomination bill, but it makes sense. Nothing like going to the bank with a fistful of 10s and 20s.
 
2012-05-12 03:07:53 PM
About 8 months ago.

They're good for buying something for cash in a hurry.

If you end up selling hotdogs, counting may be a challenge.

Imagining what I'd get for 500 dollar rent in somewhat frightening.


Keep in mind that I live in the Midwest. Cost of living is WAY down.

Last week at the bar, after the payout from the pool tournament. Carrying 6 in my wallet.

Last week at the Riverboat casino when I cashed out, I got a hundred. The teller asked me how I wanted my money, and I basically said "surprise me." It's still in my wallet. Before that, probably the last time I used one was at a Vegas casino.
 
2012-05-12 03:27:42 PM
I own a business and usually have 1-10 $100 bills on me at anytime... so i use them almost daily..

Used? Wednesday.

Have in my wallet? Always. I always keep one tucked away behind a false lining in my wallet just in case.

I use them pretty regularly since I essentially stopped using banks. I keep a few grand in a checking account, just to have a convenient place to cash checks, but that is it anymore. It was losing me money.

All the losers you know are broke, you mean, but go ahead and blame somebody else for your massive fail.

Well, in actuality (just using the NASCAR example, because that's what I'm familiar with)... all those vendors are private ma-and-pa companies that pay the track for the space.

So, selling hot dogs at a NASCAR race can bring you some big bucks.

Its not glamorous, and you won't become a millionare... but plenty of people make a fine living doing it.

Yesterday, I used nine of them to buy a 1976 Plymouth Gran Fury ex-Florida highway patrol car. Original cop package car with the 440 engine. Bit rough looking, but runs great. Trying to decide if I want to restore it to original FHP livery or make a bluesmobile clone out of it. Either way, its still somehow managed to retain its original black and white paint and hasn't been butchered outside of a little rust and a sun-baked interior.

Last year, when I paid my girlfriend's property taxes. Stupid f*cking county would only take cash or a cashier's check, and the bank wanted $5 for the latter. So thirteen hundreds, it was.
