It's actually quite handy. Instead of ten thousand bills you need just one. Think how much you save on wallets!
The same thing actually happened to me when I was teaching in China 12 years ago. We had a delegation from the local bank who came to see us with a $250,000 banknote asking us if it was real. Apparently some guy had come into the bank and demanded they change it to Chinese currency. He was willing to take quite a hit in order for them to change it that day. It turned out to be a sort of payment note, that looked vaguely like a proper banknote, which had been issued to workers in Hong Kong nearly a century before.
And don't forget the guy who used a $200 bill in a fast food restaurant and got away with it - even though the president on the note was George W!
