No $1,000,000 bills that I know of.

IIRC there are six $100,000 bills.

Anyone see that old film (originally a book by Twain?) where a guy was given a £1,000,000 note (obviously worth considerably more in the days of yore) because some old Cholmondeley-Warners from the Bank of England wanted to see the hijinx of their actions.

The guy never paid for anything because no one could give him change.

That's like the old anecdote of people like Muhammad Ali or Marilyn Monroe writing checks for small purchases, and then they would never get cashed because the receivers would rather frame them on their wall.

1. Im glad to hear that UK still has "tuppence" Starts singing song from "Mary Poppins".....
2. And if we're talking nostalgia, how about the Israeli Lira?
3. US Pennies - much history, but theyre still a pain.
4. Can we ever make a dollar coin work (Eisenhower, Susan B. Anthony, and now Sacajewa) while we keep the dollar bill?
5. Every so often I see a two dollar bill.
6. The 100,000 bill was gold note, wasnt it, not a proper Federal reserve note.
7. If we replace small denomination notes with coins, as inflation proceeds, and large denomination notes with electronic transactions, will we reach a time where we still have coins, but no longer have paper money? Or will coins disappear at the same time?
8. Ecu would have been better than Euro - some history, at least.

$2 dollar bills are pretty rare. Enough so, you see one, you say, wow, a two dollar bill.

And here in the grand republic of the West, its bills, not "notes". Even though technically theyre "Federal Reserve Notes", no one calls them that. Notes are for eurocommies.

Forex, bills are always green, which, as everyone knows, is the color of money. "notes" OTOH, come in all different colors - same as play money.

Re: Israeli notes - I liked the one with Montefiore and his windmill on it - that was the one shekel note, huh? Also the one with Jabotinsky on it - very cool since so many of his political enemies were alive when it was released, and his direct follower was PM. I guess thats where the "put Reagan on the quarter" folks got there idea.

We've always called ours "bills", despite them being multicoloured

Plus we long ago abandoned 1$ and 2$ bills in favour of coins, giving us
1, 5, 10 and 25 cent, and 1$ and 2$ coins

and 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100$ bills in general circulation

The lack of generally circulating 2$ bills in the US, coupled with their refusal to go to 1$ coins pisses me off to no end. I always have so many ****ing bills in my pocket.

IIRC, these are actually two different series of notes. The former being the later in chronological order. The second one really rules though: It has commie pics of the farmer (above), and also of the factory worker, the fisherman, and the scientist, IIRC.

Better than having so many ****ing coins in my pocket. That would really piss me off to no end because I hate change and just throw it in in the jar on my counter. I'd NEVER have a $1 denomination on hand.

Besides, there are $1 coins... we just don't like to use them because we all hate change .

Az - last time I was in Eretz, the Shekel had just been introduced, and lira coins still circulated. It was the height of the inflatziya. And yeah, the Likud folks had taken away all those old bolshie looking notes.

of course the above author is, properly, using rural proletariat for landless rural wage laborers. I agree its problematic for Kibbutzniks.

actually Dayan was pretty old at the time. This was the 1981 election - Dayan ran on his own ticket, and only picked up 2 MKs, IIRC.

The highlight of the year was a French Jewish businessman in flight from fraud charges, who ran for the knesset on his own list to gain parliamentary immunity from extradition. Flatto-Sharon IIRC. (no relation)

The lowlights were rumbling ethnic conflict, with mizrahi youth harassing Labour rallies, and the victory by the first nationalist-religious coalition ('77 having still had centrists playing a big role in the coalition)
