And letting me know if it’s a joke or not? Mine eyes are broke:
WHEN WAS the last time that you had any need for a $100 bill or perhaps a $50 bill? Indeed, most purchases that Americans conduct over $20 are in the form of a check, wire transfer, credit or debit card. This begs the question, who has the need for the $100 bill?
The answer is clear — the underground economy and criminal economy thrive on paper cash, especially the $100 bill. Drug dealers, criminals, terrorists, illegal immigrants, smugglers, human traffickers, tax evaders and corrupt government employees all rely on paper cash, especially the $100 bill.

I’m not sure, but I think this actually makes sense. This is what I call thinking outside the box. Ergo: the idea will slip unnoticed into the void without further discussion.

As it says at the bottom of the column, David Gorman is the author of Cashless Money.
I think he’s just trying to sell his book - I wonder if he accepts large bills?
