A new fancy-smancy $100 bill will be coming out this Oct 8th... It is suppost to make counter fitting real hard in the future ...from what I have read and they even have a Video about this new bill, They state that all old $100 bills will be fine and stay in circulation (you don't have to swap them out for the new bills) Ok, that's what they say today....I have been having flash backs, I have a lot of family in Ireland and i keep thinking of when they got sucked into the Euro from the pound....they set a dead line to convert the pound, well people who scraped n saved on the side doin whatever got Nailed 50% when the walked into the bank with their cash stash...
Here i could even see 100% confiscation if one couldn't be proven where you got it, you have no paper trail, Sorry...
I mean this is a country that once outlawed private gold ownership-BOOM' .... I could see them pulling this down the road, I mean Banks and wall street are in control , they now make the laws...

Old bills are still legal tender, despite multiple changes in design and features that have occurred in recent history (e.g. the $5 bill, the $20 bill, etc.) The idea is to stop manufacturing the old bills in favor of the new bills, and letting the old bills fall out of circulation as they wear out.
I work for a department store, and I have found it interesting lately how much "old" money is coming in. The kids don't know what to do with it, some of the bills are older than they are. No security strips, etc. I can't tell you how many times I've been "need a manager'd" over to some register because there's no security tab on a small face $100 or $20. Shows the economy is bad - people are digging into their old old stashes of money and piggy banks to buy their Kcup machines, tank tops, and Adidas flips.
I tell ya, if counterfeiters were REALLY smart, they'd be making those old bills and putting them into circulation. Stores and such aren't equipped to verify they are real, we just accept old bills as legitimate. I work in the vault & keep having this paranoid feeling that someday, the bank is going to make us separately band the "old" bills together to save them the time of dealing with them.

I hope OP does realize that banks are used to remove worn bill of all denominations .Paper money does not last forever in circulation. A conspiracy can be dreamed up about almost anything if one wants to.
