New Hundred Dollar Bill - delayed?

[joe_momma]

**TINFOIL HAT/BLACK HELICOPTER QUESTION**

This could be my faulty memory - but wasn't the new multi-color $100 supposed to be released into circulation early in 2010?

Wonder why the Fed would delay introducing a new, highly identifiable bank note.... (not like they'd devalue any of the old bank notes mind you.....)


just wondering.......

Federal Reserve Announces Delay in the Issue Date of Redesigned $100 Note
10.1.10
On October 1, the Federal Reserve Board announced a delay in the issue date of the redesigned $100 note. This new design incorporates cutting edge, anti-counterfeiting technologies and the Federal Reserve imposes strict quality controls to ensure that users of U.S. currency around the world receive the highest quality notes. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing manufactures Federal Reserve notes and has identified a problem with sporadic creasing of the paper during printing of the new $100 note, which was not apparent during extensive pre-production testing. As a consequence, the Federal Reserve will not have sufficient inventories to begin distributing the new $100 notes as planned.
