I ran into this new $100 bill in Las Vegas.
Other than simply something else they need to spy on us about, why do they need to be detectable in airports? If a bad guy knew this then he’d be carrying other denominations. Although, chances are the passenger carrying a roll of those probably isn’t going to have go bang-bang shoes.
So is the real Liberty Bell.
I utterly, literally, cannot imagine why counterfeit 100 dollar bills are a threat. The British ring supposedly made 35 million in superdollars. The Norks are estimated by the treasury to have made another 45 million worth.
How is anyone supposed to get a case of the fainting vapors over a total of 80 million bucks devaluing our currency, when the Fed creates 5.5 billion a day out of thin air.
We should be utterly profoundly ashamed to prosecute anyone for making a few 20 dollar bills on a color copier. Or even to squeal about some nation printing off 30 or 40 million of them over a few years. Its a joke.
Does the denomination drop by half also?
Yes, when new, those buggers stick together like crazy. A lot of errors are going to go undetected since they’re so thin that you can’t easily tell when two of them are stuck together.
To be fair I think they are down to printing about $2.5 billion/day out of thin air as of yesterday. :-(
I really hate the “blue stripe”. Ugly! And they do stick together pretty badly...at least the new ones my teller gave me did.
Heh. I'm not surprised.
And the Constitution falls to pieces. And Ben Franklin turns over in his grave.
Got one of ‘em today. I always complain at my bank that these new-fangled hundreds have made it almost impossible for me to make decent copies of ‘em anymore.

Make ‘em easier for the TSA to steal.
