Did you know the U.S. used to have $1,000 bills in circulation?
Truth be told, we’ve even used larger bills than that in the past. Much larger in fact…

I’m sure you’re familiar with the most common slang term that’s used for American dollars.
Yep, that’s right. It’s “bucks”.
As in “I sure could use an extra 20 bucks right now!“.
Have you ever wondered how using the term “bucks” to describe money came about?

One of my favorite examples is this incredible “deal” that I ran across while shopping on Amazon.
