NY, obviously.

If they make 1k bills........money launderers would go out of business.

Know how hard it is would be to haul $100,000 around in thousand dollar bills? Not at all.

Where the hell would you spend a $1000 bill? Trying to get rid of a $100 bill can be a pain in the as_.

Convenience?

Maybe for the guy that's going to snatch your wallet.

I guess it would be rather tempting to someone if they knew that you are carrying around, lets say, 20 crisp $1,000 bills. Dang, and I thought this was a perfect world.

I was visiting a friend who lived in a semi-ghetto area and I saw a black guy driving around in a cadillac holding a wad of bills out his window. I don't think it would look as cool for him to only be holding one or two bills.

People barely use cash now as it is. Its either Credit/Debit or Check. Many people don't carry around large sums of cash, thats why they invented the previously mentioned items. I'm pretty sure I'd be paranoid carrying a $1,000 in my wallet with no theft protection or the ability to cancel/stop payment...
