Why will he need a new job?
the poster said hypothetically if the attendant brought him 40 large for a
$1 royal. 40 large means 40 thousand, not 4 thousand.That's not true.
You're wrong.
The largest bills in circulation are the hundreds.
This is true, but how is it relevant? The slang has nothing to do with the largest bills in circulation.
"large" as a slang term for money has an established meaning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_(disambiguation)
"Large, a slang term for one thousand dollars"
http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/large
"one thousand dollars"
and "large" meaning 1000 appears to be in usage in the UK as well:

"$1000 notes are occasionally referred to as 'large' in banking ("twenty large" being $20,000, etc.) or as "big ones" in slang (as in "twenty big ones")"
Note that the U.S. *used* to have a $1000 bill:
