I say if you're going to cash a check at a bank, ask THE BANK for SMALLER bills because banks have LOTS of them and you'll save cashiers/customers in stores a lot of grief.
Using $100 bills is only impressive if you don't ask for change.

At this point I don't see why we don't just go to colored money like everyone else. I think the Mint's motto is, "Stopping fraud one color at a time."
