Well on my last trip I was using 500's for most purchases. I felt like a rich man. However I was an American in Mexico using local currency. I had quite a few US 100's when I got there that was used to pay for my diving and lodging.

When I was in Jamaica it was mostly 1000's.

In the US it's usually 20's when I have cash because that is what the ATM's around here tend to give.

    We just got some Yen for an upcoming trip to Japan and its the first time I've ever handled a 10,000 bill. Pesos are like 20:1 while Yen is around 250:1

    Yeah, JMD is about 100:1 so it was actually really easy. I took a picture with 20,000 in Jamaica and sent that back to some people I knew. Made it look impressive but in reality only about 200 bucks.
