Proposal to eliminate the $100 bill

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Then of course there's the little issue of 1 in 3 US bank notes in global circulation being fake... whole economies could collapse if they tried to withdraw the $100 bill from circulation.

The 500 Euro note is gone but the 1000 CHF and SGD notes are both still readily available. Having moved 100K Euro in 500 Euro notes out of Saudi (neatly avoiding withholding taxes along the way) - I can say that big denomination notes do come in handy at times.
The government has nothing to say about it the Federal Reserve a private Bank controls that
Perhaps in Pixie Land that is true but in reality if a private bank fucks with the stability of the USD - they'll soon find themselves under government direction like it or not.
the banks own the government, the US government are trillions of dollars in debt to the banks, why would the banks become under government direction? lol
Want to own a bank? You don't do it through deposits - you do it through borrowing. Borrow a few grand and the bank owns you; borrow billions and you own the bank. It's always been that way. No matter the infantile arguments of conspiracy theorists...

Maybe you should try to google instead of insults

Maybe you should stop bleating conspiracy theories and get a life? Google is only useful as a tool if you have the intelligence to interpret the data. When you start believing that the $100 bill will disappear because "Google" - you have serious issues in your life. I know it's the Cambodia expat syndrome; slow news week - start investing your soul into whatever kind of stupidity is trending on Twitter.

Never said that
I said the federal reserve bank controls the US currancy not the government.

We're almost a cashless society already in the Western world. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, although so far it's quite convenient. As hackers get more advanced, bank accounts and debit/credit cards will be even less secure. It doesn't bode well.

the thing with banks is that you are borrowing money that doesnt exist, they are just numbers on a computer screen, that is why the banks own you, they make money through interest, there is always only one winner
