$1M bucks in the bank is not nearly as protected as the $100.
For one thing the Fed only insures losses up to $250k whereas the $100 is totally covered. Secondly the amount of security required to protect a bank is the same regardless of whether one has a million in the bank or 10 cents.
Are you trying to say that $100 bucks isn't as important to a person as $1 million is to another?
