Quick money question

Does it matter what denominations when exchanging money at Johannesburg airport? I know about the new, no tears etc. but are $100's o.k. or should I break them into $20's before I go?
Thanks!

Banks and money exchange booths are the places where I would expect the least problems with larger denominations. However make sure to take your ATM receipts for those US$ bills with you as they might insist on seeing them for money laundering prevention reasons.

don't quite understand globaleric...i won't be taking the money from an ATM here so won't have receipts. not cashing in that much for them to think I'm laundering I hope.

Dennis -

It depends. Some exchange bureaus may feel the $100s are more easily counterfeited; others think otherwise. Personally, I'd opt to take the smaller $50s and $20s. Sure a thicker pile, but likely less of an issue.
