Interesting column in today’s Las Vegas Sun (originally appearing in the Providence Journal)about how abolishing the $100 bill would be a good tactic to fight crime and terrorism. The article asks the question: “Most purchases of more than $20 that Americans make are in the form of a check, a wire transfer, or a credit or debit card. So who has the need for the $100 bill?”
Well, I can think of one category – casino gamblers! However, I am willing to make some sacrifices if it would indeed make a major problem for criminals and terrorists. In fact, when I play at the higher denominations, one of my least favorite chores is feeding the bill acceptors. So I would like to be able to write a check or give a debit card to the casino and they would give me a ticket to insert or download the credits I have bought right to the machine I am playing. That is so handy in the casinos that already provide this convenient service.
I’m sure some “underground” gamblers would not like this system. They don't want a paper trail that the IRS can follow.
