I don't think there's any ruling in the US regarding sale of neccessities.
I did a retail stint over Christmas holidays, and we were told to call a manager whenever we were tendered a $100 bill. Additionally, we had to vacate the till if it accumulated more than $300. My till hardly ever ran much over $100. One day, I handled nothing but credit card payments.
The latest big busts in counterfiting have been small denominations. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of retailers refusing large numbers of $1's.
Eventually we'll all just have our personal debit number tatooed on our arm. What could wrong with that?
