New versions of $100 bills scheduled for circulation next year were stolen Thursday during or after a flight from Dallas to Philadelphia, the FBI said.

A law enforcement source said $20,000 was stolen from a total shipment of several million dollars.

The plane, which was not identified, arrived about 10:25 a.m. at Philadelphia International Airport, Special Agent Frank Burton Jr. said Friday.

A courier service transporting the money reported the theft about 2 p.m. when its employees arrived at the Federal Reserve Building in East Rutherford, N.J., Burton said.

Inside TSA job....likely connected to the Russian mafia. This has a smell of KGB attached to it.

Did anyone get on the plane wearing a parachute?

For those of you who think “I’ll just keep a big wad of cash around the house in case things get tough.” You may want to rethink your strategy - the old currency could be outlawed in a New York minute.

>>> connected to the Russian mafia. <<<

how about the Chicago mob via Delaware?

Wait, so 200 hundred dollar bills get stolen and it’s big deal? Not that exciting of a story.

Pre '65 coins will get that job done

Oh wow! I’ll bet that the FBI will spend more money on resources investigating this matter. Meanwhile the government wastes hundreds of billions and no one goes to jail, they only get re-elected.

Annual deficits consistently in excess of a trillion dollars? YAWN. No big deal. That's what printing presses are for.

Wait!! Alert the media!! We're missing -- you might want to sit down for this -- we're missing $20,000! I don't know what happened. It was here one minute, and then it was gone. This bad. Very bad. Can Obama save us??

Meanwhile, over 6 billion dollars is “missing” in Iraq. Where is the FBI on this one?
As to the $20,000.....well, that is just walking around money for BO.

Worth $.25 next spring.

Is it just a coincidence that Joe Biden’s dentures cost $20,00?

....during or after a flight from Dallas to Philadelphia,....

Now I'll read the whole article.

I think a strip search and a body cavity search should be performed on every TSA agent in the country immediately.
