You could still fake an old $100 using a $1 bill, but it has gotten to the point where many people will no longer take old $100 bills, because an increasingly large fraction of them are counterfeit--the genuine ones have been taken to banks and exchanged for new ones.

I would certainly look askance at any old $100 bill that anyone tried to give me.
