A small side-effect of inflation:

You see a lot more fifty dollar bills floating around now, than you used to even two years ago.

Like, customers at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now pay with them more, and when I was making a deposit of some paychecks and tip-money at the local bank the other week, I was going to deposit both of my fifty dollar bills that I had on hand from tip money, but I decided instead to keep one with me, since I always like to pay in cash, and it's not onerous to use a fifty dollar bill now, like it used to be...

I mean, you go out to eat and get a few beers with the meal, and you're already at $30, paying with a fifty in a situation like that really isn't out-of-the-ordinary now, like it used to be.
