I don't think they are, businesses are just anal about it IMHO. Since generally most people only use up to $20 bills. Usually it's just ghetto people that use the bills, I dunno why. They love carrying around all their money in $50 and $100 bills like it makes them rich or something. Even if they don't believe in having a bank account you could get it in $20s... They should know people don't like taking the larger bills.
And really, as long as the bills are of the newer multi-color gradient variety, they're darn near impossible to counterfeit convincingly I would imagine. Very easy to just look/feel the bill and tell it's real. (I think they even use a slightly different paper than for the $1 bills, at least it feels different to me)
