BAD NEWS from the FED

I called, both the BEP and the FED asking about if they knew if the new $100 bills would be released soon, and the BEP told me they really did not know. My question always is "Hi, I know there is NO "set" date for the new $100 bills to come out, but, is it still going to be pretty soon?" And the girl at the FED said "No" I asked, will it at least be this year, around October or November or something like that? And she just said, "I don't think so" and I just thought "Damn it!" I really gotta get my hands on one of these things soon, or I am going to go nuts. :devil: (Well, not really. But I am extremely disappointed that they might not come out until 2012. Why can't they just release the damn things gradually, if they can not bomb the currency pipeline with them? In time, it would still have the same effect. They've gotta have a LOT of them printed by now, anyway, so I do not see what the big deal is. Grr...Ugh :devil: )

Holy Smokes! Have a de-caf. LOL!

I'm sure when they're finally released, there will be enough to go around.:smile

 

they do have tons of them printed but the last I knew they were still trying to figure out how to sort the good ones from the large number of misprints.

Well, a portion of the 1.1 billion notes in storage have random defects caused by the the high pressure printing process, so I doubt if any will be released. And as far as I know, the problem hasn't been solved. I wouldn't look for them any time soon.

 

The BEP has released a series 2006A $100 note to hold us over until the "New" design 2009 $100 is released.
The 2006A uses the same signature combination as the series 2006, but now has the prefix "K". They were printed in Jan.& Feb. 2011, so look for them soon.

 

North Korea will have the new $100's out before the Fed does.

 

I can't believe they didn't figure a large bulge in the paper wouldn't pose a problem during printing. Any schmoe thats ever used a copy machine knows there's going to be problems. And then to commit to not one, but two release dates that have come and gone is just, well, silly. Maybe they need to revert back to security features that worked for hundreds of years before and scrap their "Motion" ambitions until technology catches up with their brainstorming.
