The number of hundred-dollar bills in circulation has skyrocketed in the past decade. It could be a troubling indicator for global corruption as high-denomination bills remain a go-to for criminals, given the anonymity and lack of transaction record. “There’s certainly enough evidence to say it is an enabler of corruption, but it is also a way for people to keep assets outside of the financial system,” says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek research.
