Problem is you have to buy them by the kilo (=2.2 lbs) ;D

With this arrangement one ponders given the rather simplistic design that counterfeiting could be a problem. But with the largest denomination only worth an also sinking US$2 perhaps it is not worth their effort.

Pretty soon I think the US will be doing the same thing, creating more inflation to wipe out all it's debts so it's government will finally be solvent after 10 years of huge budget deficits.

Desinflation is the worst of nightmares

If no one has been able to help you send me an email and I can see what I can get you in the way of UNC $5. I will have to visit a couple of banks and see if there are any around at present.
