Yes when drug dealers are taking their dollars out of the country they like the bigger notes, you get more for your 20 kilos.

They have discontinued the 500 euro note as it was the favourite of criminals. Big notes pack more punch in a smaller space. Big dollar bills are used by the rich to get their pesos out of the country.

I wonder if that is the reason that the US discontinued the $1000. dollar bill. DUH..smaller bills are harder to smuggle than the larger ones. There is a place in Vegas that has 4 of the $1000 dollar bills on display. Can't remember the name of the casino. Trust me though. The dealers will soon find a way to get their profits from plastic.:frosty:

I believe there is a branch in Davoa. It was a breeze although if you read their requirements you would never get one.

Trust me. They will still charge you overseas fees. Banks will get their money one way or another.
