Sometimes I am objectively wrong in things I've enjoyed. For example, the original Hitman video game adaptation movie from 2007. I enjoyed it when it came out despite it having an abysmal score on Rotten Tomatoes (currently sitting at 16%). I watched it several times and really enjoyed it. I recently rewatched it, maybe two years ago and... what was that guy (old me) thinking?

It seems like you and others mostly answered your own question, but another aspect is that often paying with $100 bills raises an eyebrow and comes under more scrutiny - after all, the shop is out $100 if they accept a bad one. People are much more likely to carry and pay with $20 bills, so it's significantly (I would guess more than 5x) easier to pass a few bad ones off here and there. I think gas stations used to be a common way to work counterfeit bills into circulation, as are retail shops, both of which are going to be less diligent than banks.
