An ink error has ruined 30 million newly printed $100 bills.
There's been yet another major snag in the Federal Reserve's mission to introduce the hundred-dollar bill.
This time, a printing error called "mashing" – when too much ink is applied to the paper – has rendered 30 million bills totally useless, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) confirmed to the New Yorker's David Wolman.
"This time, recent batches of cash from the Washington, D.C., plant contained 'clearly unacceptable' bills intermixed with passable ones, according to a July memo to employees from Larry Felix, the bureau’s director," Wolman explains. "So the Fed is returning more than thirty million hundred-dollar notes and demanding its money back, Felix wrote. Another thirty billion dollars’ worth of paper sits in limbo awaiting examination, and Fed officials have informed the bureau that they will not accept any hundred-dollar notes made at the Washington, D.C., facility until further notice."
It's amazing how it only took them 30 million of new $100 bills to realize something is wrong.
But back to the point in question, I would brag about it to my neighbors and than use it as toilet paper.So NSG what would do?
