well in NYC very little checks are taken even now, so for sure not during a crisis. They won't take them during good times!
I'm starting to think being in NYC either pre or post shtf is not a good place to be! Lol. I've only been to the city once and the sights were amazing, but any place that populated would get pretty ugly after about 5days of no power or food/water shipments. I feel anyone that lives in any large city should really be focused on a good bug out plan. Sorry, I get distracted easily, back to the money, I agree twentys or smaller is good for trade, but a few hundreds hid away will let you have more resources that should be easy to conceal. Remember that cash is not the only resource out there. A lot of Jews escaping Germany were able to bribe officials with jewelry, art, diamonds, etc. anything that people consider luxury or desirable can be used for barter.I will say though the smaller the denomination the better. In NYC very few people will take any thing over a 20. (not the food carts, not the small restaurants, nor small businesses, etc etc So keep your monies in 20 dollar bills or less.
I personally like to keep 1's, 5's and 10's mainly. People more readily take them. Even the 20's are examined thoroughly in NYC before being taken. 1's, 5's and 10's are not examined or under any scrutiny yet.
