The acceptance of large denomination currency, such as one hundred dollar bills, is subject to individual store policies. These policies often consider factors like transaction size, time of day, and perceived risk of counterfeiting. Individual stores possess the authority to establish parameters regarding the acceptance of high-value bills.
The prevalence of counterfeit currency and the potential for large-scale fraud necessitate caution in handling large bills. Retailers implement varying procedures to mitigate these risks. These procedures can include visual inspection, the use of counterfeit detection devices, and management overrides for transactions involving significant sums.
