Hello

I have two local McDonald's near my home that
have signs posted, both inside and at the
drive-through, that will not accept anything larger
than a $20.00 dollar bills. They received a large
number of counterfeit bills.

I have seen this at other burger places as well.

I would like to know what countries still sentence
anyone to death for counterfeiting coins and/or
notes?

I used to see signs in Michigan not accepting $50 or $100 bills but
not in the past 5 years at least.    Most clerks
these days do a quick counterfeit check with a pen.

And the $100-printed-on-the-paper-of-a-$5 'bleached' counterfeit passes that.
  Usually, the 'no big bills' thing is about keeping minimal amounts of change
in the drawer to deter robberies.

The McDonalds branches that refused Mr Andersons Scottish money were
doing him a favour really, by preventing him from consuming this
horrible foodstuff.
And how many Scottish branches of McDonalds accept Welsh money, I ask?

is not as great as it used to be.

LOL
I don't know such countries (;-)) but before the euro era in some European
countries it was illegal to not accept the currency of the country
regardless of how high was the denomination.

A Happy New (numismatic and not only!) Year to everybody!

Well, when gas hit $4 a gallon, fillups were costing $50 to $100 and
stations were claiming that they lost money if people paid with credit
cards...so I guess the really had no choice but to accept the larger
bills.

heh heh.....this is good.  McDonalds and its ilk need to go out of business,
if not for price gouging, then for producing unhealthy "heartattack food".
Food prices continue to rise while fuel has fallen to an 8 year low.  So
restaurants are simply in the business of price gouging customers for as
much as they can possible fleece them, regardless of how low fuel prices
are.

Mark,
    Restaurants are in the business to make a profit.  If you work for a
company, perhaps you can understand this.
