New 100 Dollar Bills

[Troutburger]

I would love to see one of those bills if anyone has an extra. I would gladly cover postage.

I am not even sure they are being printed on the same paper material money was printed on back years ago which was actually a  cloth material from a lint waste by product from the Levi Strauss company. Since Levi's are no longer made in USA I don't know if the Feds can get the material any longer...............jmho

A few Levi's are still made in the US. BUT, they are in the $200 range. That bit of information was shared by a teenaged granddaughter. She knows the stuff I don't.

Ive been so broke I thought that 100 bills period were fake.

Oh and if anyone here lost a $1000 roll of $20 bills held together with a rubber band I found the rubber band. Edited December 27, 2013 by sL1k

I have had the opportunity to see several of the new bills. I like them a lot. My twins received a few from relatives for christmas and thought that someone was attempting to pull a fast one on them. The looks on their faces was priceless.

A trip to the bank with five $20 bills will get it, without postage.

I think you missed the joke.

When I first saw them I thought it was a new kind of Monopoly Money from a game. They say they are harder to counterfeit but with all the new colors on it a high end color copy machine could probably make them. I still like the old ones better and I am surprised ole Ben was not replaced with Barry's picture................ :rock:  :rock: After all he is the one spending it faster than they can print it.............jmho

 

If you look at modern notes (including notes from other countries), there are marks on them that are arranged in a certain pattern. Recent copiers and scanners detect these patterns and refuse to copy/scan them.

Paper money will not be around a whole lot longer. News article last week. The Euro zone countries expect to be using plastic money by 2015. We won't be far behind.

The Australians have been using plastic money for decades. It really is an improvement.

[quote name="monkeylizard" post="1084221" timestamp="1388017599"]The Dutch used Guilders, not Marks, before switching to the Euro. Australia switched to polymer bills in 1996. It lasts longer in circulation than paper. The UK is starting the switch too with their 5 pound note.[/quote] Maybe he meant Deutsche Mark...

Yeah....I know. I was just being a pedant.  :D
