Noooooooooo.  Too many places freak out or won't take a $100. bill much less a larger denomination.

i agree.

for large purchases (anything over $100) normals use debit or credit.

One podunk bank we dealt with at work used to mark everyone with marking pencil before tallying our deposit.  F'ing annoying.  We don't deal with them any more, thankfully, but not for that reason.

Yes, it's getting so difficult to carry the cash to buy cocaine in bulk.

Yes.  By definition large bills are a freedom fighting tool (drug dealing etc).

Yes and no.  I don't think we need to start printing the larger bills we once did yet, but I would favor the introduction of a $200 bill with Chief Justice Marshall on the obverse and the Supreme Court chamber on the reverse.

Definitely not. While the Warren Court was a reasonably good one, Warren does not compare to Marshall as a Chief Justice.

The majority of $100 bills are used for hoarding in banks overseas, not for consumer transactions.  I think it's smart to print larger denominations if the foreign banks that want to hoard US currency would like larger notes.  It would save paper, right?

No, but the mint should stop printing $1 and $5 bills and switch those denominations to coins.

^This, but I think a $2 coin is more practical right now than a $5 coin.
