In Canada, I remember buying a computer years ago with a single $1000 bill. The bank looked at us funny when we made the withdrawal, but they ended up being ok with it. The computer wasn't new, it was a private sale of a used computer, when we paid the fellow he looked at us funny and asked if he'd have trouble depositing it, he said he thought that was the currency of criminals or something, but he did accept it.
The somewhat funny part is, it turns out afterwards that he actually was a criminal, we found out later that the computer we had bought had been stolen from a local computer store... (The police, and that computer store, were both very understanding about the situation, and it all ended up working out)
