What would you do with 30 Million Worthless US $100 Bills?

[Zavea]

convert them into bitcoins and become even more poor

[Charlotte Ryberg]

I'll take the cash and build the much-needed Leeds Supertram.

[Libertarian California]

Dump it all on a busy street corner and watch people fight over them.

It's amazing how it only took them 30 million of new $100 bills to realize something is wrong.

They mass produce the bills in large batches, so they can print a lot before anybody gets around to testing the quality or sending back defective ones. It's not like they individually printed them and just ignored the problem 30 million times. (If you're ever in DC, the BEP has tours and you can see the machines they use to print the money. It's pretty cool.)

Also, the people that are supposed to be testing the bills at the BEP in Washington have been understaffed. The powers that be were slow and reluctant to replace some people who left (bureaucracy at its finest), and there was also a woman who died recently. I also know about some "office politics" that NSG would have a field day with, but out of respect for the privacy of the people involved, I am not going to post the details.

So NSG what would do?

Donate them to the NSDAP and watch my Nazi brothers get busted for counterfeiting when they try to spend the money.

[Gauthier]

I'd have a badass game of Monopoly.

You do realize that between the two printing facilities (one in Forth Worth and one in DC), the Bureau of Engraving and Printing can produced 35 million notes a day, right? It's not that big an error in the long scheme of things.

[Chernoslavia]

Id buy a little bit of these

A few of these bad boys

A big underground base to store them.

$10 million dollars in donations to the NRA as part of one of my ''Piss Off A Liberal Day'' activities in March, and another $10 million for charity.

Some money for my wife to spend. And the left overs which I estimate to be around 1.5 billion dollars for emergency/casual use.

In other words id buy the American dream...

[The Texan Confederation]

Take the botched bills and use them to throw money at my problems

[Chernoslavia]

Oh why pay your problems when you can finally afford a heat seeking missile launcher to blow them away?

The bills are worthless.

How so?

[Nationalist State of Knox]

The bills are worthless.

How so?

If you read the second line of the OP, or, you know, the title.

An ink error has ruined 30 million newly printed $100 bills.

[Union Of Canadorian Socialists Republic]

Not if we use our imagination.

[Chernoslavia]

I didnt know he literally meant 30 million worthless US $100 bills, lol.

[The Parkus Empire]

Eh, you can definitely make it work over and over with twenties by just switching bills before paying, but with hundreds? I doubt it.

Every time I've ever seen someone try paying for something with a fifty or hundred, the cashier inspects it to make sure it's not a forgery. I think that's standard practice with most places.

It is. Twenties come day-in-day-out, but fifties and hundreds are infrequent enough to merit attention.

[European Socialist Republic]

Throw it at my problems to see if throwing money at your problems really solves them.

[Costa Alegria]

Buy North Korea.

[Timna]

I'll take the cash and build the much-needed Leeds Supertram.

Pfft you've already got a City Bus.



@The OP: use it as ballast, I guess?

[Big Jim P]

Use it to support truth in advertising by papering all of Washington DC with it.

[TaQud]

Buy North Korea.

why not Detroit?

In these parts we check €20 notes and up. *nods*

[Hurdegaryp]

this would not have happened if we elected ron paul

This is absolutely true. The USA would have collapsed years ago when that scenario would have come to pass, rendering paper money useless in the resulting wastelands of the United States of Apocalypse.

[AiliailiA]

I would put it in swimming pool, them mash it up with a backhoe to make papier mâché. Then I would make a statue of a black bird. A falcon.

[Lordieth]

They quite literally have a licence to print money, and they can't even get that right?

[AiliailiA]

You have to fold it the right way, so it's pointy at one end and has wings. Otherwise it just flutters to the ground and doesn't reach the problem.

They don't call it the capital for nothing you know.
