Thirty five years ago, spent a couple of days in Vegas (CES/Consumer Electronics Show). And went to a couple of the old, run down casinos downtown (before they put up that electric light show canopy).
And the casino on the main corner (Horseshoe?). Had a hundred of then puppies, between sheets of thick Plexiglas.
Was cool to see what a million dollars looked like.
IIRC the largest in circulation now is the 10K, correct??
I don’t know about circulation. But I do know some well heeled types carry a $10K bill, for kicks.
The history of even larger bills is interesting.
Blind, searching to see who was on the bill found this Elmo.
