Large bills, that is. I presented a $100 bill to a 7-Eleven clerk and almost had to call 911 because I thought she might flip out. She was looking at the bill like it was foreign currency and didn't compute. It's something that the Swiss don't seem to blink at - the presentation of god-awfully large bills that force the clerks to use up the entire till's worth of change.

I once paid for a 12 franc lunch at your former Swiss place of employment using a 1,000 franc note - not even an eye blink as the change was counted back using 200's from the till... (1 franc = 1.25 USD)
