Interesting article on problems printing the new $100 bill

[mr_larry]

Here is a fascinating article on problems encountered printing the new $100 bill. They have already printed over a billion of the bills, but up to 30% have creases in the middle and result in blank spots.

Perhaps the problem could have been avoided by not having to print them so fast in order to keep ahead of Obamas' spendulous bills
I know I should not have gone there but c'mon, it was there for the taking!
I hope a few of these wind up in circulation.

Government can’t print money properly

Because of a problem with the presses, the federal government has shut down production of its flashy new $100 bills, and has quarantined more than 1 billion of them -- more than 10 percent of all existing U.S. cash -- in a vault in Fort Worth, Texas,

It would take an estimated 20 to 30 years to weed out the defective bills by hand, but a mechanized system is expected to get the job done in about a year.
