Just like in America, where the $50 and $100 are rarely seen because the banks and ATMs only tend to issue $20 and under.
I dislike getting $100 notes here because are difficult to spend. You get looks, for sure. If the timing is right I can wait for a coin show, but I usually just deposit them at the bank.

I ordered over $20,000 in $100 notes, and paid cash for a car. The specialist registered dealer gave me a $3,000 discount for cash.

Interesting situation:-
I didn't have enough to pay for car insurance, so he paid that for me, with his credit card!
I reimbursed him for the insurance a week later, with another person to person payment in cash, in $100 notes.

I have never made an electronic payment except via bank security systems.
When it comes to electronic security, they are much better managers than I am.

I pay all of my utilities bills at the Post Office, with $100 notes. I don't have a credit card.
I do have a debit card, but it is very rarely used, perhaps once per year.

I have almost no financial electronic footprint. I have never been scammed, because from a digital financial viewpoint, I don't exist, except for my local bank.
They are much better at managing my digital security than I am able to. It is impossible for me to be my own worst enemy, with my own financial security mismanagement.

I am hoping that the Australian Government will issue $200 notes. That hope might be in vain.

In truth, it's all part of the general move towards cashless society - governments are fine for minor transactiona to stay cash, but major transactions are supposed to all go electronic, where they can be properly tracked, taxed, etc.


- I am aligning with this position now (although I used to think this was untrue/a somewhat paranoid "conspiracy theory" in the past). The more I dig, the more things point in government/business's push for society to go cashless (due to government tracking). People find it so convenient (& love the credit cashback incentives).

-this used to be the case in Canada but I thought things improved after we switched to polymer. Now, I believe we'll get looks (unless it's $50) because so many people here use debit, credit rather than cash.

I wish that was the case here in Canada, but for the past decade, I've tried that line "how much if I pay cash?" & every single salesperson looked at me like I was daft (or told me about the discount I'd receive if I paid on their ___credit plan).

I really admire your efforts to do so "Sel_69l"
I have tried to keep mine as small as possible (by using cash) but it's been an uphill battle.

That is a big part of it. "Why are you using cash instead of your card for a big spend?" I admit, I look at people the same way. That bias has been embedding itself for a long time. I do feel more comfortable not having so much cash on me. I also like the buyer protections from using the card.

I suppose it varies greatly upon where you are trying to spend a $100 note but I have never had a problem spending one. They are the preferred form of currency in casinos, I've paid many a contractor in C-notes, and though I've admittedly not spent many in retail situations, as long as the counterfeit pen test passes, they don't seem to have a problem taking them (if they have change).
