I find this super interesting; we've got a chicken and egg problem in the UK where £50 notes exist but nobody ever legally uses them or accepts them, and I'm just used to it despite it being globally weird

I haven't watched the video but why wouldn't people accept them? Don't banks accept them?

I guess we have $2 bills which are rare enough that when you spend them it's notable (heh) and sometimes it's the first time the other person has handled one. I can see how it could be difficult to accept a bigger bill like that

So, as a chicken-and-egg problem it's this kinda interesting mixture of causes and effects.

ATMs don't dispense them, so you can only get them by going into a bank and up to the counter. This means they're very uncommon, which in turn means that shops are more reluctant to accept them - this is partially related to fraud (if you've never seen a legitimate one in your working life you're less likely to be able to notice counterfeits) and partially a till float issue - and this then means that people are less likely to want to get them from the bank, and you get a kind of feedback loop where the less it's used the less that people want them. This is also exacerbated by the fact that dealing with large volumes of cash is related to criminal activities - dodgy cash-in-hand tax evasion or drugs or whatever with the obvious impact of making people less likely to want to spend them and less likely to want accept them.

I think there's also perhaps a cultural spending issue, relating to how often one would spend cash vs card, and I don't know how widespread the standard of "It's rude to pay with a bigger note than necessary" is (I'd feel awkward buying bread and milk with a £20). Also, I can't remember if £1 notes are still legal or not but the last time I saw one would probably have been in the 90s, so we really only have three notes (£5, £10, £20). The fraud thing is also analogous to the various non-English GBP notes - like 90% of the UK only ever uses Bank of England notes, whereas Scotland and NI have like four different banks and it can be difficult to use those notes down south where shops are unfamiliar with them and often have standards of not accepting non-BOE ones.

I think there's a decent argument that if ATMs had always been dispensing them this whole cultural standard probably wouldn't exist - the video brings up examples of widespread $100 and €200 notes.

If someone asked me on the street whether $100 bills existed, I wouldn't be able to say for sure.

They do, but they stopped making $500s and $1000s years ago

They do exist, and in fact, Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill, leading some persons to refer to $100 bills as "Benjamins" :smug:

I'm not sure, but that kind of plays into the "drug dealers and fraudsters" reputation too?

Oh wow I thought that was some wacky, one-off video that they made, because they've been doing that lately (e.g. Samurai Rick). But that's a clip from the new episode
