   Speak for yourself.   
      
   I've had a few dozen of those $1000 bills in the past.   
      
   And frankly, I'd rather just as well keep my money in cash at home in   
   the form of $1000 bills vs having to split my money up across 3   
   different banks, keeping just under their $100k per account limit.   
      
   The reason why we don't have them any more is not because of organized   
   crime (they much prefer $100 and $50 bills anyways).   
      
   The reason is because too many people with high net worth would hord too   
   much of the money supply and keep their money in that form at home, out   
   of circulation, vs having that money sitting in bank accounts where   
   (theoretically) the banks can loan that money out and keep the wheels of   
   the economy turning (not that that policy is working here in Canada or   
   the USA).
