Bureau gives new meaning to blowing hundred dollar bills

According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, their D.C. factory location produced a botched batch of more than 30 million hundred-dollar bills—that makes for a useless 3 billion dollars.

The latest printing error, called "mashing," results when too much ink is applied to the paper and does not fit within the marked parameters, making for imprecise details on the bill's artwork.

Doesn't surprise me, unfortunately. The last person left please turn off the large flashing "ERROR" sign before closing the door, thank you.
