Recent stories out said that many of the bills crinkled like an accordian over the strips missing the ink pattern in a swath of the bills.

The billion new notes were to be sorted and the misprints destroyed.

Another mint was to print replacements. This causing the release date to be pushed back.

Well, what if the story was floated because they need an excuse for "doubling" the printing.

Since they never withdraw the previous "attempts to thwart" counterfeiters with new bill designs, but merely add the new to the older currency in circulation.

I suspect that hyperinflationary amounts of bills are about to be dumped. Any word on when the $500 and $1000 bills are to go mainstream?
