Just a suggestion. So, you want them to have problems four denominations instead of just the one.   I know what you are implying... half as many $200 notes, one fifth as many $500 notes... |

I like how the article says there was a printing issue so they are pressuring the Fort Worth BEP site to accelerate their printing. Yeah, you know, because rushing things won't create the potential for mistakes.

They just want to stall until they find the rest of the missing money from this cargo hijacking. While they claim only one stack was stolen you know how the government likes to cover things up and I wouldn't be surprised if the person they arrested wasn't some fall guy for the mob and all $3.2 mil is missing. Maybe in the future these missing first print run bills will be the 1933 St Gaudens Double Eagle that you can't admit that you have in your collection. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...lls/1653415/Edited by jack jeckel

A few new ones are out in circulation. You can buy the star notes on ebay for small premiums. But, I don't think they will be used in commerce until 2015 or 2016. Stupid prolongers. |

Why can't they just release the ones that they have inspected and pass? Is there some law or something that they have to have so many available before they can release them? I don't have much confidence that we will ever see these.

I think the first error in printing was scattered throughout the bills. Separating them would take up to 30 yrs. I recall reading. This second problem is different it sounds. All this aside from the theft! What a shame.

Maybe someone more efficient can print them, like De La Rue.

I just read an article that they are coming out in October Yes, that announcement was made in April for a 6 months notice of the new $100 bills coming out. When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought "Oh boy, how much longer are they delaying its release?" and thankfully, as of now, they are not delaying it any further. They will be coming out, starting October 8th of this year. |

If it were a matter of tracking stolen serial numbers, couldn't they just print a new series and get on with the distribution?

I don't think there is anything to do with stolen serial numbers. $20,000 worth of the new $100 bills were stolen at an airport in New Jersey (I think) and that only accounts for two straps of the bills total. And even though that is not really a huge amount of bills, they were still recovered, so there should be no problems or delays, unless another major printing process error occurs. |

They had another printing problem different from the first time.

They had another printing problem different from the first time Yep, the first time was a problem with sporadic creasing in the paper that the notes were being printed on (probably because the current printing machines were not used to the extra thickness of the sections of the notes with the 3D security ribbon on them) and the second time around, there was a problem called "mashing" where too much ink was printing on the paper at a time. (Not sue if the "mashing" problem has been fixed yet, but I'm pretty sure that the sporadic paper creasing issue has been fixed, and the mashing problem as far as they knew, only existed in one of the BEP printing plants) Edited by Fox

Yes I as well thought the printing issues had to do with some of the enhancements. Hope what they put out is ok! Franklin wouldn't be happy!
