Re: us dollar

ummm, yes, dimes and "cents", or pennies, are still very much a part of US currency...

penny= $.01= 1 cent/ 100 pennies = $1.00
nickel= $.05= 5 cents/ 20 nickels = $1.00
dime= $.10= 10 cents/ 10 dimes = $1.00
quarter=$.25=25 cents/ 4 quarters = $1.00
half dollar=$.50= 50 cents

paper currency in circulation:

1 dollar bill
5 dollar bill
10 dollar bill
20 dollar bill
50 dollar bill
100 dollar bill

$2 dollar bills are still made, and perfectly usable, just not very common to see. There are also $1 coins, called "golden dollars", which are more commerative, and again, not very common.

Although still technically considered legal, $500, $1,000, $5,000 & $10,000 are no longer produced or circulated.

Re: us dollar

in Canada, we have a **$1000 bill**** ... rarely seen! i once had a few back in 2000 but stores didn't accept it so i had to take it back to my bank.**

Re: us dollar

so if u need to pay some one $2000...u gave them 20 notes of $100?

Re: us dollar

Yes, or else just get a bank/cashiers check for the amount....most people here in the US do not routinely keep such large sums of cash on hand!

Re: us dollar

Re: us dollar

**ofcourse...when i go for grocery shopping, i always buy grocery bags for a nickel each and i inflate my tires for a dime when needed. also, kids buy small candies, like gummy bears sour patches and sour snakes, for a dime.

here, the prices are such, like $2.29, $2.39, $1.49, and since there are taxes on top of that so these nickels, dimes and pennies are used all the time when we pay by cash.

hope that suffices. :) **

There is a store call dollar store, where all good sold are less than one dollar.

By the way, in the US, officially, inflation is low. Of course, when you factor in oil price, inflation is higher.

Re: us dollar

If you have 100 pennies, you've got a dollar, and you can buy stuff for a dollar. Not much, but you can. However, pennies can't even buy the calories it takes to pick them up off the ground, so I don't. When there is change, I usually tell the cashier to keep the pennies ("Don't spend them all in one place!"...) Quarters and dimes and nickels can be used to pay bus fares.

If you need to buy something for more than several hundred dollars, you usually use plastic, or a check sometimes people still take them. Or electronic transfer. Or cashier's check or money order.
