Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
There are new problems with the redesigned $100 dollar bill that was supposed to be released
in 2011 but was delayed due to a massive printing error - now there has been a ‘mashing’ problem
where some bills were left with a blank spot.

Recent batches of cash from the Washington, D.C., plant contained “clearly unacceptable” bills mixed
in with passable ones, so the Fed is returning more than thirty million hundred-dollar notes.

There’s also another thirty billion dollars’ worth of currency that needs to be examined and we all know
who’ll have to pay to inspect, correct, produce, transport and secure all of the money that will replace the
bad bills

I'm thinking of printing my own $100 bills and saving the government some money. Maybe we could all do that.

Oops!

Personally I do not like carrying high denomination notes.

$100 would be far too high, I didn't really like carrying $50 bills.

What a colossal mistake! And of course, all the taxpayers will pay for that mistake.

The problems inherent in making bills that are difficult to copy are considerable. Don't be surprised if this is not the only instance of printing problems we hear about.

Pretty soon we'll be a cashless society and all those printing problems will disappear.
