Unknown thieves stole a "large amount" of newly-designed $100 bills bound for a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey on Thursday, the FBI said.
Frank Burton, Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the theft occurred at some point between when the shipment of bills landed at the Philadelphia airport on a commercial flight from Dallas ... and ... its New Jersey destination ... the courier service transporting the bills reported some missing.
Burton declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial.
"We're following all logical leads," he said
The missing bills carry a design that is not slated to reach circulation until 2013. They feature a large gold "100" graphic on the back, and an orange box on the front with a faint image of the Liberty Bell.

The only hundreds I have include a picture of Nezahualcoyotl on the obverse. So it wasn't me. I don't even remember what Franklin looks like.

declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial... A measly few $100 bills pales in comparison to all the $1's, $2's, $5'2, $10's, $20's, 50's 100's 500's 1000's and more stolen from our wealth over the last few years due to crony capitalism, trashing money to mudslims and palee's, and inflating the money supply.

I saw a picture of these bills on FNC last night. They really do look quite different.

They just paper over their mistakes and sing a different note.

Not a TSA fan at all, but this sounds more like SOP for organized crime in that part of the country. Freight handlers and freight forwarders all under their control.
