Why $500 and $1000 bills aren't made anymore but $2 bills are

[@cruzeiroreal2750]

I think we need larger banknotes. A $500 bill would be great

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

It would be cool, but it ain't gonna happen.

[@pacoramirez7363]

They actually just made the opposite move with the euro. The 500 euro note isn't included in the current series and is being withdrawn from circulation. They found it was getting too much use in criminal activities.

[@cruzeiroreal2750]

Unfortunately, it may be true. There is a backlash against big banknotes especially in the eurozone as Paco said, Singapore, and India. Supposedly because of criminal activities but that sounds like a excuse to only allow small banknotes. At this point, the US government will force us to carry dollar bills as the only denomination :v

Considering how much value the dollar has lost if it weren't for cashless transactions that dominate the largest payments the $500 and $1000 would probably actually have some modern day use.

[@ianandersen265]

Automated kiosks make $500 bills even more useful this day of age, because technology can confirm if a bill is fake, better than any mortal human could. However, I don't think inflation has gotten bad enough to where society isn't functioning as well due to a lack of $500s. Although 50's and 100's are more common now than ever before, we don't have a lot of ATMs spitting out anything higher than $20s.

I almost got the cops called on me at a supermarket because I tried using 2 $2 to purchase groceries. Cashier stopped while taking my payment, called out a secret protocol sentence to secretly summon the manager, and I was told that I was using counterfeit money by both of them. I told them it was legal tender and if I was going to use counterfeit it would be of an discontinued bill of such a low number using this current year. I argued with the manager and he got angrier, probably because he knew if I was right he would be known as a complete idiot. Luckily, a bank teller came in and intervened, wearing a bank of America name tag, and told the manager that it was real. He STILL stammered about an authority of currency being against him. I am glad the cops never came because I have read stories about being actually being booked for using $2 bills because no one during the process, especially cops, knew $2 bills exist.

[@james.walkerUSA]

Over the years, there have been several attempts to switch the US to a $1 coin to save money on printing. Why haven't there been similar efforts with the $2 denomination? Most other countries have a coin for both their 1 and 2 denominations.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

They should push it again, but that was the plan in 1976 when the revised $2 first came out. They made over $400 million worth and pushed banks and businesses to hand them out, but it just didn't take. People assumed they were collector's items or something special and stashed them away. That mindset still exists (unless this channel can change something), and so every effort to push the $2 out there again will seemingly have the same result.

[@onehungrypanda316]

A $1 coin to cut on costs is useless. To start off, all of the reckless spending that is going on in the gubmint (misspell intentional) is whats causing a $1 to be worthless. Simple economics, if they can afford reckless spending, they can afford the $1 printing press.

[@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes]

As an AUstralian, I find it strange that you do not use the 50 cent or $2 that often. But I understand why those over $100 are not used. Many countries have withdrawn higher denominations, the latest was Singapore with the $10,000.

[@Littlegoatpaws]

The 50c used to get a lot of use, but for a long time many vending machines and meters wouldn't take coins that big for whatever reason. Part of it may be because the US, along with Canada, whose 50c also fell into disuse, use a 25c instead of a 20c like Australia, less small change is given making a 50c less necessary. The 50c continued to be a staple in gambling for a long time though, until most slot machines and tables went cashless. The $2 also used to be a lot more popular, but for a time I think they weren't available in some areas and many people preferred silver dollars over low denomination notes. Some also saw the $2 as "unlucky" or linked it with strippers and prostitutes. In Canada, however, the $2 was always in regular use before being discontinued for a $2 coin 1996.

With inflation, it's hard to disagree. The $500s may come in handy at the grocery store, considering how much the price of food has gone up.

Why does the 2 dollar bill have a portrait on the back compared to other bills where there is famous buildings

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

To celebrate the nation's bicentennial, they went with the famous painting "Declaration of Independence" on the back. That's really all there is to it.

[@stevepettersen3283]

The version prior to the 1976 reboot did have a famous building - Thomas Jefferson's home Monticello.

[@97AshleyRose]

I had no idea 500 or 1000 bills even existed lol

[@paulromsky9527]

When I was in Minsk around 2000, inflation was so high there a 100,000 Belorussian Ruble was a common bill. I recall it was worth about $20 USD. With US inflation so high, $2 bills dont help much, but $200 bills would be nice. Why don't they get rid of the $2 bill that isn't used much and start using $200 bills which will. I doubt people will waste a $200 bill just hanging around in their wallets.

[@Hezelcarl1]

😊 I don't ever hear about $2 bills even mentioned I don't know.

[@hdinkumar]

Why are there a lot of $2 bills in circulation even today

[@alc9810]

How do I contact you about my $2

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

There's a link to reach me through the "about" page on this channel. You can also reach me through the film's website - 2dollarbillmovie.com. Just need your address where to send the $2!

[@natehtf5760]

Well, I guess 5K, 10K, and 100K won’t be made anymore either.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Nope

[@SuperEasyTechTips1]

Is there any truth to the story that a child was arrested for using a $2 bill to pay for his school lunch and the school accused him of using fake money because they were unaware the $2 bill actually existed?

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Yes, it's true - but the kid wasn't arrested. She tried to use an older $2 bill, one with a red seal on it, and it confused the person who took it. It led to a bunch of craziness. There was a man who got arrested for using one at a Best Buy. That story is in my film, but a clip is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4SWqp2cmsuIepo

[@markianecat1093]

Bank can only make higher numbers if the currency decreasing its value. Like ours..

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

But like the video says, electronic payment options have all but eliminated the need for large-denomination cash.

[@jasainialopez3115]

What is the history of the two dollar bill

[@MrThe1234guy]

What special interests groups Want to bring awareness to their cause with $2 bills you ask? Mostly Gentleman clubs would be my guess.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

They are one of them for sure, and we mention them in our upcoming video. But we have already done a piece on these places: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3S8ZXuMbZV5fLs

[@n150cz9]

So why did we have 500 and 1000 dollar banknotes?

[@collectionecoin5432]

I have this money two dollar : 12 - 12 - L

[@t.d.mich.7064]

The only use for a note larger than $100 denomination is the convenience for illegal activity. Honest people use credit cards, or cashier's checks. Much more currency would leave our country if we had larger notes.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Exactly.

[@leoss79]

Are the $500 and $1000 still legal tender? If I take it and made a deposit with it at the Bank? Thanks.

[@NiclasHopsi]

Yes I think they are

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

If you have one, don't deposit it at the bank - you can get more for it by selling it. It would still be accepted at stores since it's still legal tender, but it's more valuable elsewhere.

[@Jesse.Glanville]

Anything a person accepts as payment is legal tender. Tender is just an offer of payment. Places are allowed to turn down Federal Reserve Notes for payment. Technically and lawfully they can't "pay" any debt unless it's accepted. Anything not gold or silver is based upon your idea of what it's worth to you.

[@invoxicated]

Not to mention they don't print $5000 and $10000 bills anymore either. If you have ever toured the BEP they have a sheet of 10 $100,000 bills on display. Those were only used for International transactions and never placed in circulation.

[@gracelee5522]

Is the $2 bill the rarest bill still being printed? My 6-year-old son (Tazi O) is curious about this question as well. :) Thank you!

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Yes, it is the "rarest" bill being printed, meaning, it's printed less often, and when it is printed, it's almost always the bill with the lowest amount printed in that run compared to any other bill. On the whole though, the $2 bill is not rare; there are over 1.3 billion of them out there.

[@aaronmeasles9155]

[@schoooool323]

Nice

[@inglwud5625]

They should make a 200.00 bill.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

What they should do and what they will do are two different things.

[@someentityhere6904]

I've been thinking the same thing as well

[@atari_hmb]

It's 2022...if it is possible to bring them back; It'd be pretty neat. But slim slim chance, but who knows.
