I'll give you 10 100's for that $1000 bill. Banks take them out of circulation if you give them one.
40 years ago, the largest denomination was $100 bills. That was fine because buying a car might be a couple of thousand, at most. We STILL only have $100 bills as the largest denomination. I tried to buy a car a few years ago for $18,000 (it sold before I got there). $18,000 'ain't easy to carry in your pocket!!! I can't imagine if I was going to try and carry $30 or $40K!
Most banks wont give you very much with out prior notice. I went into my bank and said I want to withdraw 10000.00 they told me I would have to give them a 48 hour notice to get that much. I said but it is my money. They said they don't keep that much extra on hand and it would run them short. This is why I don't keep my car funds in a bank. You can deposit 10K today and not draw it out tomorrow.Im finding all of this confusing...So I sell my car and I have the buyer wire funds to my bank opening his own personal account. He comes to buy my car, we walk down the street he withdraws the cash hands it to me and I hand it to the teller and she deposits it in my account. We walk back home, load up his car and thats that.
Would. this work????
I'm not totally sure about every state, but this is for deposits in cash or withdrawals in cash in the state of Alabama and yes it does seem to be a federal thing. I also have bought a car out of Tennessee that the seller requested no certified checks of 10K or more. He said he would have major problems turning them into cash. I can purchase a certified check here in any amount without having to sign anything. I just cannot do it with cash. But in certified checks the feds already have all the information they want or need for a paper trail. Basically this is a paper trail for the government on cash transactions. Nothing is private with the feds because they want it all, and would like to do away with cash altogether. Why do you think that some of the offers on new bank accounts pay you a nice amount of interest if you use a debit card X number of times per month and a extra amount of interest on larger checking account balances. There is a bank here offering 4% on balances up to 30K in your checking account. It requires at least 12 debit card purchases, at least 1 direct deposit, and 3 payments to your creditors in their bill pay system. If you are ever audited by the IRS, all they have to do is punch a few buttons on a computer and they know everything and probably where you took your last crap.Jerry - can you disclose anymore about the above. I’ve transacted more than this amount many times and have never signed such a document. Must not be a federal demand.
I know the treasury Dept keeps info on all transactions of $10k or more but don’t think you have to sign an IRS doc here in CA. Like I said I’ve done this quite a few times and have never signed anything here. Possibly because in this stupid state $10k barely buys you a full tank of gas. With the irs in the pathetic state they’re in I wouldn’t/haven’t worried touch about it. I pay my taxes - maybe too much so - it seems a though they’ve paid little attention to me over the years. I’d like to keep it that way too.I'm not totally sure about every state, but this is for deposits in cash or withdrawals in cash in the state of Alabama and yes it does seem to be a federal thing.

I pay my taxes also, but I'm not going to give them anything more than they are due. I have had an audit before and ended up forfeiting a sizable amount due to poor records. You can bet your butt that won't happen again. You can also bet your bottom dollar they will take your word for nothing without records to prove it.I know the treasury Dept keeps info on all transactions of $10k or more but don’t think you have to sign an IRS doc here in CA.

I think ours have been taken out of circulation... not certain, but I haven't seen one in a LONG long time !
