100$ bills

Since you all made clear that it%26#39;s not advisable to bring 100$ bills into NYC, I have a small problem.

I ordered some dollars with my bank, and a week later I got them, but all notes of 100$... I asked if they had some smaller, but they didn%26#39;t.

Now, I%26#39;m coming to NYC with my 100$ bills, and I really DON%26#39;T wish to draw attention, like you all said...

Ok, maybe I can spend it to change it, but then still I%26#39;m drawing attention...no?

What about change-offices or at a local bank?

Can I change my 100$ bills there?

Thx a lot!

100$ bills

Eleanor---Yes, you can go into a bank and have a teller change your $100 bills for smaller ones. I would suggest getting $20 bills. Sometimes, the clerks at the front desk of your hotel can change them for you, too. It won%26#39;t hurt to ask anyway!

100$ bills

I always have lots of 100 dollar bills with me on vacation and never had a problem, not in LA, not in Florida, not in DC, not in NY.

Don%26#39;t worry about this to much, take 1 and leave the rest in your hotel safe if you have one.

I never take more than 1 bill with me, and use it as soon as I can to get smaller bills.

Of course you can%26#39;t go around flashing the cash, but that goes for every city or country in the world.

Not only will a bank change your bills but the front desk at your hotel should do the same (at NO charge) Using $100s to pay for a meal, in a dept store etc. should be no problem. Just don%26#39;t try to use one in a taxi or at a local deli. I recently had guests from the UK visiting and they came with $100s. It wasn%26#39;t a problem. You just have to know where to avoid using them (smaller shops etc.)

Subway clerks won%26#39;t accept anything larger than a $20.
