The second bank had a huge issue with it and acted like they weren't legal tender, and had to call Chase corporate to see if they could even accept them. They eventually did, but it was a hassle. I'd hate to order a couple thousand and go through something like that again; any advice to lessen my anxiety?
unfortunately, this is the curse of the game....what I have been doing is gving them to friends (1 box) and asking them to give me cash, to which I go and of course deposit it, or spend it on my mistress....Also, my wife noted that (she used to work at a bank of America), if someone came in with that large deposit, anthing over $3,000 cash, gets noted to some govt agency, i.e I.R.S. ......especially now with all the big brother crap. My suggestion is you distribute it unequally with different branches in your hometown and even when you travel.
