I wonder how the $20 theory of the universe has changed over time due to inflation. Was the $5 bill the equivalent two generations ago? Will a $50 be the next generation's? Also, I've noticed that very few things I purchase day-to-day fall between $15 and $20, and I've oft wondered why. And while we're at it, have you noticed how few $10 bills you see in the wild?

Most ATMs stock only 20s and 5s. THe only place to get a $10 is from the teller or as change.
Never thought of this before.
I'm guessing. In the 1940's greasing the wheels could obviously be done for far less. I'm guessing a quarter went a long way back then.
