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.

Fuggetaboutit, it fell off the truck!
Gotta be the Amish.
soon those bills will be the proxy down payment for reelecting Obama....say a 25% finders fee for redistributing the bills back into the “system” Lots o walk around money
More than likely North Korean operatives paid to have the shipment hijacked so they can get a jump on counterfeiting them, or even the Chinese.
Trickle-down incompetence! It starts in the Oval Office...and runs downhill!
The first place I’d investigate is the courier outfit that “lost” the money.
I knew Franklin.. Franklin, was a FRiend of mine.. You Barack, could not even wipe Franklin’s ASphalt..
Anybody check Bush’s wallet or bank account.....gotta be him ;-)
The more “advanced” our bills look, the more they end up looking like Zimbabwe dollars.
One day we may wish they were worth as much as Zimbabwe dollars...
BUSH? Naw, we all know he wasn’t smart enough.. Did they wear a hoodie? Maybe those thievn’ AMISH again?
INSIDE JOB DO NOT DOUBT ME ON THIS (as Rush would say)

the Colombians would be interested. they’d trade a large pile of good phonies for few new ones.
Without a doubt one of the funniest shows ever.
