exchanging the US quarters for Green Back paper.

Any bank I approached, refused to accept the large numbers of coins as
I wasn't/we weren't a customer.

15 years ago I was given $100 bills by a clueless Bureau de Change, and
I couldn't find a bank in a large US city that would change them, even
when I enlisted the support of one of their customers! As a result I now
never accept notes larger than $20.

Most US retailers won't accept bills over $20, due to fears of
counterfeiting, which is why ATMs no longer give them out. I've never
had a problem getting a bank to accept $50 and $100 bills, though. They
may swipe them with a special pen, run them under a black light, or
check other security features, but they should take them.

If all else fails, find a casino. They'll be happy to change your $100
bills into chips, which you can then immediately trade back in for $20
bills.
