USA banks should take them with little difficulty. When you do change
them,
get mainly $20s, as merchants in the USA often don't like giving more than
a
few dollars in cash for change - it has to do with security and a desire
to
keep as little cash at the ready as possible for robbery prevention and
not
necessarily any leeriness regarding counterfeiting.

Enjoy the USA, it is an incomprehendably vast and varied nation, far more
so
