Boopity boppity, hippity hoppity, I can't even rhyme so how can you expect me to come up with good video topics. That's why you should suggest Half as Interesting topics here and if we use yours, you'll get one free Half as Interesting t-shirt: www.halfasinteresting.com/suggest

"There are 12 huge banks across the US" And they each choose two tributes every year from their region which will fight to the death in a giant stadium on Washington D.C.

*I want to put it in a Vending Machine*

2:04 I’m a manager at Nando’s, my staff still take these very often by mistake, so chances are, you can pay for a cheeky Nando’s with them😂

I like how the 100,000 still has a beautiful and detailed design despite never available to the public

*All counterfeiters change their printers settings*

3:09 “Enough value to buy a house, a few cars, or a few *dozen textbooks*” 😂 true words

The intro is literally happening NOW.

Next MrBeast video: Use obsolete banknotes to buy things from 7-11.

Forget the The American dollar, we’re using mom bucks right now

How else am I supposed to buy the 36,114 original copies of Shrek?

Hai:”we are 100% anti illegal” Also Hai: “we want you to deface money”

I remember reading somewhere (possibly a bbc news article?) that the Bank of England has £1,000,000 and £100,000,000 banknotes. They’re nicknamed giants and titans respectively, and are only really used for transferring money between banks, and backing the Scottish and Irish notes. They’re not supposed to go into general circulation at all though - they’re like the $100,000 notes you were talking about in this video.

You did NOT just say cheeky Nando’s with the lads

Some additional information: 1) $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 Series 1928 and 1934 Federal Reserve notes are available from currency dealers and auctioneers. The former two usually cost about 2 to 3X their face value, while the latter two are much rarer and cost 10 to 30X their face value (depending upon their condition). 2) $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 Series 1928 Gold Certificates are are all legal to own, but only the former two are available to collectors, selling for at least 10X their face value, again depending upon their condition. Only serial number "1" of each of the latter two still exist, and they are in government collections, so none are available for collectors. 3) $100, $1000, $10,000 and $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificates are NOT legal to own, and these can only be seen in government collections. The designs on the backs of them are orange instead of green. 4) In addition to the these bills, there are also 2 or 3 "specimen" bills that show the front of the bill (while the back is typically blank), and are marked "SPECIMEN" and have no monetary value (in order words, they can't be deposited into an account or used to purchase anything). However, they have collector value, and in 2005 a $100,000 specimen sold for $74,500 at a currency auction--it had no serial number or orange treasury seal on the front. 5) There are still some older (large-sized) $500 and $1000 notes (both Series 1922 Gold Certificates and Series 1918 Federal Reserve Notes, along with a few older series) still available for collectors. The backs of the Gold Certificates are orange. All the kinds I've mentioned above (#1 through #4) are "small sized" meaning they are the same size as the bills we have in circulation today, and share the same general appearance (i.e., small portrait in the center) as the $1 and $2 in current circulation. 6) There is a Series 1900 $10,000 Gold Certificate that could be surrendered to the Treasury for gold, but they were not recirculated after being surrendered (redeemed), so they were cancelled. However, there was a fire in a government building in 1935, and along with other items, a box of these was thrown outside, and some of the bills fell out and were picked up by people walking by. They had been cancelled, mainly by punching holes in them. They have no face value, and can be purchased from currency dealers for around $3000 to $10,000, depending upon condition. Thus, they are the only previously-circulating bills than can often be bought for less than their previous face value. They are technically illegal to own (being "stolen" government property), but because they no longer have any monetary value, the government basically doesn't really care and has made no effort to reclaim or confiscate them. Anyone interested in "high denomination" bills would enjoy a book by Stephen M. Sullivan titled "Small Sized High Denomination Notes"--the 2nd edition published in 2008 is a bit dated but provides a lot of information about these bills. The $5000, $10,000 and $100,000 bills are sometimes referred to as "ultra-high" denominations.

Hey there, Just thought I'd point out that you cannot excange UK notes for their newer counterparts without: A) having a UK bank account in your name. B) going to the reserve bank of england in London. This stung me when I went to the UK from NZ in April 2018 and turns out the FX in NZ had given us notes that were officially no longer legal tender since Sept 2017.

That’s nothing compared to the national debt

Fact of the day : Half as Interesting is 0.1% illegal

I'm on the North Korean 100,000 bill

I like that this was made 4 years ago, but somehow that intro applies even more now.

is it stronger than *M O N O P O L Y M O N E Y ' S*

so, a piece of paper is worth more than my existence, sounds about right

“Or a few dozen textbooks” Cries in college student

Thanks for the shout out.

It's a shame I can't buy a cheeky Nandos with an old £10 note

The great depression was one hell of a time period.

My grandfather who was a Bank Manager here in Canada used to transport 1M$CAD notes ... And up to recently (after 1988), Canada had 1000$ bills in circulation, I saw and touched some in '88.

the market makers/liquidity providers who are the so called "SMART MONEY" are in the business of taking money from the "DUMB MONEY" (retail traders like you and I). They do so by manipulating the forex market, creating stop hunts on liquidity zones and using chart patterns to mess with our emotions. Now 95% of traders don't trade inline with the market makers or think like them, that's why they frequently lose money. The only way to be successful in this business is trading like the market makers so u can join the 5% smart money in this industry.

That mrbeast reference tho

*America:* HELLO, I LIKE MONEY!!!

Imagine giving this to a store clerk and asking for all of it to be in change

And BTW El Salvador is far more north. That's Nicaragua because of the lake. Pointing that out!!!

Buy something for 50 cents and hand them that and see if they will give you the change

Trump got 10 of those for his small loan.

4:37 *sample not written on note. notifying fbi.*

True Story: an elementary student tried to pay for her lunch with a $2 bill and the lunch lady refused to take it. Thinking it was fake she called the police to investigate how the child got hold of countfeit bill. I bet she felt really stupid afterward.

When even a single piece of paper is worth a lot more than your entire net worth

2:30 I want that wallet

0:49 that is Costa Rica, not El Salvador

“and there are no mechanisms to fight an upcoming recession” that didn’t age well.

*_JEFF BEZOS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT_*

Isn't the "World's Largest America" technically Canada?

I love this channel because it gets straight to the point unlike other videos that make it 10 minutes, half the video has nothing to do with the title

3:25, that wasn't used to carry around cash! It's still in New Delhi's National Rail Museum and is a set of armoured rail wagons that was used to transport troops prior to 1947

But Mr. Burns had a Trillion dollar bill, that he lost to Fidel Castro.

“The completely real American $100,000 bill” *_Press (x) to doubt_*

1:42 when someone makes a mistake on KZfaq, and another dude insists in correcting them, preferably in the most patronising way, I always picture them looking like this

1:56 “IN STORES”

*See I pulled a sneaky on you*

Love your channel and sense of humour! I have been watching wendover since 600k

I live in the UK and we still accept the old bank notes currently but they do phase out the old bank notes (and coins) after a period of time. For instance we still accept those 10 pound notes in most stores but we will likely not by the end of this year

"Or a few dozen textbooks." Right in the feels...

HAI: Mentions a country that isn't the US My Brain: It's treason, then

sir i don't know what this is it is a series 1914 Federal reserve banknote, obviously hmm i don't think we can accept those Well it does say "this note is a legal tender for all debts public and private." wat

“Or a few dozen textbooks” lol

Just dropping by to say great seamless integration of the Hover ad at the end. Kudos

2:30 Anyone knows where I can get these types of wallets? I need it.

Well, a seven eleven can refuse the old bill, as that's a purchase, not repaying debt.

3:07 Ouch. That last one hurt.

Man, your videos are so good that i hate that your videos are so short

Imagine putting that in a vending machine and it accepts it.

Who would have known that HAI would have predicted the end of the world....

“Or a few dozen textbooks” Ouch.

I was in the UK over the new year. I had some left over paper money from the last time I was there. The girl I paid at McDonald's looked so alarmed when I handed it to her

Anyone know where I can buy the wallet in 2:31 ?

The sarcasm on this episode is at a new high!

0:22 *_Foreshadowing?_* _chuckles_

I think your logo is pretty amazing so can you possibly maybe make a video about how you made it? Thanks for your great videos!

"Money cant buy happines." Videogames are bought with money and they can make you happy Pets are bought with money and they can make you happy

i always laugh at the way you make a joke out of your sponser, then just click out of the video

As a cashier with a large collection in my safe I love it when people bring me rare and interesting coins and paper currency. What’s more interesting is that I pay face value. I get notes worth hundreds for $1, $5 and such. Of course nowadays it’s getting harder to find them as they circulate less and people are more wise to hold onto them. The only times I get them now is if a kid steals them out of their parents collection. While that’s wrong it better they go to me who will take care of them than to some bank where they will likely be sent to be destroyed.

My grandma has a $500 bill. Her parents put it in an envelope when she was born, and when she turned 18 it was given to her as a start to pay for college. Grandma worked to pay for school and kept the bill as a memento since they had stopped making them years before, and she still has it. It's not brand new, it has a center fold, but it's nicer than most 2017 one dollar bills I get in change

To be fair the federal reserve isn't actually involved with the US Dollar. It prints and distributes federal reserve notes.

*Mr.Krabs has entered the chat*

El Salvador is a bit further norther. You highlighted Costa Rica

When I was child there was a documentary about the mint that I watched. In it they spoke about these bills. They said a that time that 6 bills were in private hands. 5 of them were in the hands of an oil sheikh. This was in the late 70's or early 80's.

those first thirty seconds be hittin’ hard right now

I need me some of those Big Boi Bills

the comedy lines slipped in the videos is why I subscribed. oh and the information. I'm just choosing to believe that this information is correct because you know...its the internet

I was in Vegas in the late 70s, and saw the million-dollar display at Binion's Horseshoe- ten 100,000 bills! Quite impressive.

This intro was made 4 years too early

**next video** _the real 1,000,000 american bill_

"A house, a few cars, or a few dozen textbooks" ....i felt that ending

I was thinking about Mr.Beast and then he mentioned him. Life is awesome.

*_GEORGE WASHINGTON HAS LEFT THE CHAT_*

“Your total is $0.99” “You got change for one hundred thousand?”

Your sense of humor is awesome

Use it to pay at McDonalds.

So demonetisation is not possible in America...

"Cheeky nandos with the lads" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

“Or a few dozen textbooks.” 😭

Why did you put gullible in the bottom of the description?

audit the fed

Lmaoo when he said a “few dozen books”🤣with $10,000 I believe that

Multiple Banks in both Scotland and Northern Ireland issue bank notes in their region not just the the Bank of Scotland or the Bank of Ireland. This commonly leads to issues when using the Northern Ireland or Scottish notes in England as they aren't "Sterling", they are Sterling and legal tender across the United Kingdom, most English people just don't come into contact with the Scottish or Northern Irish notes. Bank notes issued in Isle of Man or the channel islands are not sterling. While they may be part of Great Britain, they are not part of the The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to use the full title.

The $100000 bill, the Woodrow Wilson bill, only used by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department

I have *completely real* 1 million bill, anyone interested?

Why is the narrator always so witty and funny? I love this channel

"cheeky nandos with the lads" Best thing ever!

Nahhh. V-bucks are better!!!
