$10,000.00 Note: 1 of 15 In Existence.

Word of the day:  kitch\KITCH\ noun:  *1 : something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality.  2 : a tacky or lowbrow quality or condition.

A rare $10,000 bill is getting a new home. The bill - one of 15 large-denomination bills at a Chase Bank branch in Green Bay - was shipped to the bank's corporate archives in New York for safe keeping.  For me, a bank is the last place I'd store something for safe keeping.  I'd be afraid the bank  would steal it.  After all, they have a statutory license to steal.  Having a bank guard money is the equivalent of having a fox guard a hen house.
