Has anyone else noticed that the new colorized $100 bills are seeming to be taking over the old, non-colorized $100 bills in their area? If everyone else's area is just like mine, the most $100 bills we have seen here, are the new colored $100 bills, then obviously the government is keeping its promise about removing and destroying any and all old style $100 bills from circulation as the Fed receives them.
The strange thing is, I still sometimes get old style $50s and $20s, so why are they not pulling all of those as much as the old $100s? I'm pretty sure that, by now, there are enough $20 and $50 bills in circulation to withdraw and destroy all old $20 and $50 bills, and the most counterfeited bill in the U.S. is the $20 bill, and I'm sure that the $50 bill is a popular item for counterfeiters as well.
I also still see old $5 and $10 bills, which I'm sure is no big deal, being low denominations, unless they are still concerned about counterfeiters bleaching old $5 bills and printing old $100 bills on the old $5's paper. (Maybe this is why they are removing all old $100s from circulation right away, as they receive them. So that they do not have to worry about bleach counterfeiting in old $5 and $100 bills and people can spot fakes very quickly and easily.

It's about 50/50 in the little corner of OKC on the new/older $100 that pass through my hands at my part time job.
We get an occasional "small head" through the tills, not many.

I live in a rural part of the country where I know the bank managers personally. The two banks I deal with in my town have yet to see a pack of new $100.00 bills and have only indicated a few of the new ones have appeared.
I asked about the old notes and both bankers said they have received no instructions to remove older notes from circulation and send them to the FED.

I am still seeing a lot of old hundreds. The banks around here do have plenty of the new ones though.

Has anyone here seen any salvaged Series 2009 $100s without the "A" suffix letter?

I get a 50 / 50 mix of old and new when dumping halves.
I do spend / use the old ones first when picking up boxes.

haven't seen any 2009 w/out "A". also, its cool you still find old 5s and 20s floating around. in my area its hard to find even a 2003 $5 dollar bill. ALL of them seem to be 2006 or 2009. and the 20s are always 2004, 2004A,2006,2009

I don't get much for non-colorized $100 bills anymore. On a good day, I may get 50/50. Other then that I would have to say it's either 1/4 I get are old. I still see lots of small head $100's too. But then again, I have the bank save me them. What I don't understand is how are the old non-colorized $100's dissappearing so quickly? I have talked to at least 10 banks which are different banks not sbranches of another. They all said that they were never given any instructions to put them into a mutilation pile or save them up and turn them over to the FEDs. All the employees say most of the older style $100's come in from depositors.
Yet I still see lots of older styler bills of smaller denominations floating around and in banks as well. I still get a lot of $5's, $10's, and $50's which are older designed. Without the color. I get tons of small head bills to of all denominations in fair amounts so it makes me wonder.

I still see the non colorized from time to time, but they are usually going to be 1 among many. I'll bet they will be relatively easy to come by for the next few years. After that you'll need to put some effort into getting ahold of them. At the same time there will be plenty of cases where a whole bunch make an appearance. I'm still keeping 5 CU 2006 series 100's since they won't be seen in that condition anymore outside of someone who has collected one for another feature. Even at that not many people collect 100's.

Yes your right there will be cases where a bunch will pop up and that happens. I have managed to set aside 5 consecutive 2006A $100's I received this fall. There quite a few I go in the batch that weren't new. Must have been deposited or been sitting in a vault for a long time.

Believe it or not, one of the banks I went to (the less busy one) only had 2 2009A's out of the ~15 bills they had in the drawer. Which I find strange, since almost everyone I see with 100's has a new one. I'm not complaining though, that means more old bills for anyone who makes a withdrawal in 100's there!

Back to this post after not posting on it in 5 years! To this date, I don't see very many pre-colored $100's anymore. I'd say for every $10,000 I see, I may see about 5 at best or less. Since the pandemic, I see all the new bills. I don't find hardly any pre-colored bills anymore either of any denomination. I will find stuff occasionally, but it's usually due to someone depositing the bills or a business does.

Why would the new notes not logically replace the older notes?  |

Obviously they do! I just didn't think the new notes would take over so quickly. I just was amazed at how quick the pre-colored $100's were phased out. The $100, as I am sure everyone knows has the longest life span. I figured the older styled ones would still be more common is what I am saying, then now. They were phased out for the most part, pretty quick once the new ones came out. Obviously notes all have a certain life span, but the Kodachrome $100's should still be more common as the transition was back in Oct. 2013. It's mainly the new $100's I have seen since then. With the exception of a few run ins of people's deposits. It's even mentioned earlier on in this thread from Jan. 2014 that it was mostly new $100's for other members too.
