| #7 You know, I like the idea of Grant being on the largest denomination of money; I think he's vastly underappreciated. |

| #6 I met a fellow who carried a 1,000,5,000, and 10,000 notes in his wallet, it was his emergency stash, hard to change, so therefore difficult to spend, and the bills were Legitimate so any bank would change them if needed Seems a simple solution, practicly worthless if stolen. (Easy to catch as only a Bank could change them) |

| #5 A $100 doesn't go as far today. A 1945 C-note would buy $1200 worth of goods today. I say go for a $1000 bill. The US will need new bag holders once the Chinese cut us off. Might as well stick it to the criminal class. |

| #3 Do away with the c-note. How about simply redesigning the C-note and recalling all existing ones? |

| #2 Wanna make the bad guys miserable? Do away with the c-note. I don't need anything bigger than that. |

| #1 The highest note in the PRC is 100 yuan, worth about $15. Fun walking around with big gangster rolls of cash in your pocket just to buy some furniture. An obligatory rite of passage in China is the photo of yourself flashing a large amount of folding money. |
