I spent a couple of small-head $5 bills on my last trip to the USA, and the shopkeepers accepted them without comment. But older (non-color) US bills aren't accepted by money changers in some foreign countries - in Zimbabwe in 2019 I got an American tourist out of a tight spot by swapping an old $10 bill she had with a new one I had. Even the little boys selling carved wooden elephants by the roadside near Victoria Falls wouldn't take it!
Strangely, in England, some self-checkouts in supermarkets will accept Scottish banknotes and others won't.
