I recently found myself in possession of two of these green foiled bills. Came from the same bank and during the same transaction. Any ideas on them or what I should do with them? Thanks so much!

I believe that thread is done by the company that supplies the paper to the US Govt and not done at the BEP. So, the govt may legitimately not know anything about it. My guess is that the paper company just varied up the color occasionally and there may be other hues out there. Still, it's important for collectors to have an estimate of how many might exist. I agree with the others that a TPG is the next step.

the 3d blue security stripe has nothing to do with the printing process, this security feature is woven into the paper and the color might vary in the tone or brightness of blue but it can not change from blue to green or any other color. the fed was forced to quarantine about a billion $100 bills because of difficulties and/or errors in process of printing the new $100 bills. we can only guess how many $100 bills with green security band instead of blue might be out in circulation but it is probably not many

My son was working retail today and received a 2009 $100 bill with the green band. He exchanged his cash for it and will hold onto it. We'll follow this post. Has anyone done a TPR on one?

I saw this thread yesterday and took a screenshot of the two notes and emailed Bianca Bart. Hopefully she will see them soon, and consult with her dad and get back to me. Personally, my opinion is that it's environmental or intentional post-BEP damage/alterations.

I received a reply to my email.
Hi Steve:
I hope you're doing well!
We have seen this before, and it definitely appears to be post-BEP. Your hunch of environmental damage seems consistent with my way of thinking. Whether it was a thermal or chemical reaction, I could only begin to guess by looking at a picture. Either way, I wouldn't be thinking of adding these to your error collection!
Wishing you a safe and happy New Year!

Hello Oddly enough these bills were in my possession I could not get them to go into the ATM at the bank so I went inside of the bank and a group of tellers began to gather in the back trying different methods on my bill and I thought what is happening? These come from a customer who bakes me cookies and her husband is a prominent physician in the city and she had just withdrew those bills the day before at her bank. The teller comes out with a yellow piece of paper stating that they are confiscating my bills that they pass every other test so I was out the money it cost me a client over this her husband was extremely upset He pulled both mortgages from the bank that they pulled the money out from.. Yes they were green stripes on $100 bills I have images of them so 6 months later the bank replaces the money in my account tells me they are sending the bills to where torn ripped or burnt bills go I offered to keep them they told me I could not I have scoured the internet to see if any of these have popped up it appears that your wife works for a bank and it appears that those bills were in my possession. What a shame . I have no idea what they're worth as I have never found any since then I just thought this was interesting. My bank is located in Portland Oregon I will send images it would be interesting to know if there was another set although chances are they're probably the ones that you have If you have any questions if they are real or not they are real I have the paper from the Treasury department.

I miss you are interested I do have what was sent to me from the treasury stating that the bills are legitimate. I had three at my Portland Branch Bank that were confiscated this was several years ago I was frustrated as I knew there would probably be another one but if I can be of help by showing you what I received from the Treasury department. This was probably 2014 I think? I'll go back through my cloud and my phone and find the info if you like. Kim

I've seen several threads recently concerning the woven ribbon on modern $100 notes. I wholeheartedly agree with member Lettow. Submit the note to a third party grader for authentication. PCGS and PMG have examined millions of notes. If it's an authentic BEP error, then convincing would-be buyers becomes a whole lot easier.
