>>>Thanks. I think I had read something about 1000-dollar bills. But if they are not in public circulation, then that means that any cashier should be quite suspicious with those, too.

>I have a couple of $2 bills that I have saved for 40 years. I understand that originally they were printed and distributed to U.S. Navel personnel, as a means of allowing businesses to see the impact of sailors spending in different communities.

Not just Navy, My dad was in the Air Force, and was issued his entire paycheck with $2 bills once.
