What is the largest denomination bill you would carry in your purse/pocket?

Now adays I don't usually carry cash. Right now I have a couple of pennies in my wallet and thats it. Whenever I pay for things I either use my debit or credit card. Much easier that way too. But a couple of years ago I always had cash in my wallet. I used to be a waitress and made maybe $100 a day in tips. And a lot of times I liked to trade all my ones for either $50's or $100. I did this because after going to the bank with all of these one dollar bills I felt bad that they had to count them all. So I just traded for larger bills to help out the people at the bank. I don't even know what the next denomination after 100 is. But I do know that I would be crazy to keep that large amount in my wallet when it could be stored safely in my bank account.

This reminds me of a time I walked into the PC world store to purchase a LCD Screen for £299 GBP, the cashier looked at me in a funny way when I handed him £300 in £10,s and £20,s. £300 is about 600 USD. I usually only carry about £20, If I need more I have my ATM Card.

The most I have ever carried is a $20 bill or several of them. I would rather have smaller ones than a few large ones - I don't know why but i just do :)

My money is tightly budgeted, ctry, and I only see the larger bills when I get my check. Like you, I keep most of my money on debit cards because it is just easier. I rarely carry more than $50 on me. What with all the robberies going on, it is better to be safe than sorry.

I live in india.. There;s no place for $

There are bills higher than a $20?! Kidding, Kidding. Because my landlord is technically illegally renting me my apartment he makes me pay my rent in cash, which is a pain in the butt let me just say. I hate carrying around cash period. So when I get the money out of the bank I usually do it through the atm so I get $20's but sometimes I'll go inside and get the $100 dollar bills, but aside from putting them in my secret rent money hiding space and giving it to my landlords wife (who i have to pay rather than him cause he's all lame about his illegal business ha ha and won't even take the cash) I don't carry that stuff around. so, yeah. $20. but i rarely even carry cash.

The largest I'll carry (when I actually get my hands on one LOL) is $100 bill...Thats really rare though LOL Hell its rare that I get a $1 in my possession LOL

Whenever I go to the bank teller machine I usually only withdraw 30 Euro and my kids always complain about it, I should withdraw more they reckon. But 30 Euro in 10 Euro bills is enough for my needs, so why should I withdraw more? I feel very uncomfortable when I must carry bigger amounts, like 60, 80 or a 100, which I absolutely hate, as cashiers always have to double check those! If I need to spend a bigger amount, I rather put it on the credit or bank card!

When I cash my check the bank likes to give me 100's but I prefer 20's. Alot of places will not take a hundred dollar bill.

LOL this is amusing to me. My s/o has weird superstitions. He says $50's are unluky...it's some racing thing. So he won't carry them around. When he goes to the bank he tries to get only $100's (if he's taking a lot of mony out) and $20's. If he does get any $50's guess what he does with them? Gives them to me for grocery shopping. Hey, I like $50's but it's kinda like saying here walk under this ladder for me to catch my black cat on Friday the 13th! The largest I carry would be those unlucky $50's once in awhile but mostly $10's and $20's.

In India, 1000 rupee is the largest denomination, and after which 500 rupee note finds place. Most of the times i have 500 rupee note or 100 rupee notes. On rare cases, where im to take large sum of cash, i convert it into 1000 rupee denomination and carry it in my wallet.

Maximum money I carry with me is AED. 100 or sometimes AED 500 when I go out alone. Otherwise when I am with my hubby, I do not carry a purse. I can move more freely with having to worry about my money.

Sometimes its a 5s or a couple 10s. I do use the card a bit more, but really not that much! I don't spend that much in either case. Other times I do have a 20 or two on me. Don't think I'd ever get any higher than that on my person.

i dont carry too much money in my wallet or in my pocket i use atm card when i go shopping because i dont have credit card the largest money i can carry into my wallet or pocket is $20 or 995 pesos in philippine money:-)

I don't usually carry much money on me at all. On rare ocassions I may have a $50 note, & more often $20 notes. For a start, is is too big a risk to carry large denominations of cash.

Oh wouldn't it be nice if just once in our lives we walked around with a $1,000 bill??? LOL Most times like you I have dollar, fives, tens or twenties. It's been a LONG time since I've had any hundred dollar bills...uh, gee what is that? Can't even remember which president is on it...LOL I know Grant is on the fifties, right??

It is rare for me to have hundreds or even fifties and really most of the month I won't even have a twenty on me HEHE. I pretty much buy everything I need the day I get paid and most goes to bills through bank transfer it just stays in the bank. So by the next day I am lucky if I have a twenty in my purse. LOL Oh well...

I prefer twenties even if their are a lot. Some people are weird about taking hundreds and its just easier to have smaller denominations in bills. But I usually use my debit/atm card anyways. But when I do carry cash its twenties or smaller. My dad carries hundreds. I think its an older man thing. I noticed a lot of older men carry them around. Ps. Congratulations on being my five hundredth post. Yay! : )

Doesn't really matter what YOU want to carry - majority of places won't take/cash more than a $20 bill, so why carry larger? I just make my bank give me $20. They can afford it!
