Government goes high-tech to redesign $100 bills
I like the comment posted by reader parismichael:
"This is the first step in what I have been advocating for more than a decade in providing a lethal blow to drug dealers, the mafia, money launders, tax dodgers and terrorists: A) replace the existing hundred dollar bill, the currency of choice for each with a new higher tech replacement; and B) give the world five years to exchange their current bills for the new issue, after which the older bills would become obsolete and non-negotiable. The hoards of cash, worth billions, that fund these illegal operations would ultimately become worthless, while everyone with legitimate reasons to possess them would now have new currency with the identical value. A simple, cost effective and elegant solution."
