why the kidnapers ask for small bills?

Question

in ransom stiuations why they ask for small bill isn't heavier than big bills like hundureds !!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Heavier, yet, but easier to spend without raising eyebrows.

If someone drops even a $50 on you, you wonder what it is all about.

Answer 2

Any 'mark' that appears on ALL bills can't be used to identify the bills used to for a SPECIFIC transaction. The government already puts a unique SERIAL number on all bills. If the numbers are recorded, they can be tracked now. Of course, kidnappers usually demand payment before there would be time to record a significant portion of the serial numbers.

Answer 3

It is to avoid drawing attention to themselves. They have to use the money by spending it, as to deposit large sums of money in a bank alerts suspicion. Moreover, if they were to be paid in large banknotes, as well as looking conspicuous, there would be a greater risk of the numbers of those banknotes being recorded by the authorities and be on a list circulated in banks all over the world. No banker is going to be too curious about the numbers of small notes, but when it comes to large notes presented by unlikely looking customers, they might well check them against the list. Being a kidnapper is full of unexpected problems and this is one of the more obvious.
