Crossposted from https://lemmy.one/comment/283051:

Does anyone else think it’s a little backwards that the large denominations are fragile paper bills, but the small ones are metal coins sometimes worth less than the metal in the coin? Shouldn’t the large denominations be coins, which last longer, and the small denominations be bills, which are easier to carry in large quantities?

It would be a dead giveaway that you're lugging a lot of money around.

I think people could figure out how to carry rolls of coins stealthily. In any case, robbers already have ways to identify relatively low risk, high reward targets and people just openly wear expensive clothes and jewelry all the time.
