     They would cost more to counterfeit (plates, paper, ink, etc) than they   
   are worth.   
     Years ago the city passed an ordinance all bicycles had to be registered   
   and have a plate that cost $1.  But processing and paperwork, etc cost the   
   city $2 for each one.  I never got one, thus, in my mind, I was saving the   
   city a dollar.  :)   
     The US once had a $1,000 bill, along with a $500 bill.  Now the largest   
   is a hundred.  Anything larger than that is between banks only and unusable   
   otherwise.
