Message:: [QUOTE="doug444, post: 1944469, member: 38849"]You might take note of the fact that until very recently, all U.S. paper money in circulation was Series 2009 or older.  It is not impossible that the interim time has been spent by government printing a new "Series" of currency, and that one fine day, the newspapers will announce a mandatory currency exchange (old Series for new Series), to be completed in 30 days, at which point the old bills are demonetized (in the name of "national security" or "anti-counterfeiting"), and you must explain to the IRS or the agents of the Comptroller of the Currency the source of your "old" currency if you exchange more than $1,000 face value... Again, it's not impossible.  Since World War II, it's happened in more than 100 countries around the world. The excuse?  Well, Mexican drug lords, as good an excuse as any (all $100s), rendered worthless overnight. [ATTACH=full]338279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
