I'm thinking still legal tender so should be grand? 
The state of some of the fivers and tenners you do get and habr to use in EUR that are accepted without bother but wondering if they are more strict in US. 

Would you not leave them to dry properly before taking them off your printing press?

Apparently New Orleans has one of the highest crime rates and plenty of dangerous areas so will definitely stay in that French Quarter/ Bourbon Street area.

Sorry off topic. Have heard from a lot of different people about their friends and family that live in NY are moving out of the city for crime reasons. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

I thought McSorleys was a great spot. Only had a few swift ones passing by but really liked it.
