I was in Albania about 5 years ago, just as the larger faces of the presidents began appearing on the bills.
My contact told me, "Bring Big Heads"!</font>

Series 1996 $100s (the big heads) seem to be no-gos in many places in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. As do any of the small heads.</font>

Gaucho, I think the problem is not the size of the heads, but the provenance of the $100 bill. I guess there must have been news that there are a lot of fake 1996 C-notes.
Heck, I've got problems using c-notes in the US itself... :P
