I got one of those out of an ATM at Osaka. Didn't have a problem with the size of the bill, but felt very odd putting it into the vending machine for a bus ticket. Not too often would an American consider putting a $100 USD bill into any sort of vending machine. To top it all off I got the wrong change from the machine, but a small window popped open that I had not seen before then and a man leaned out and said not to worry, here is the rest of your change. Whew, that was going to be one expensive bus ride to put on my expense report.
