"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Mysterious $100 ?Supernote? Bills Pop Up Worldwide
"?The 'supernote' appears to be made from the same cotton and linen mix that distinguishes U.S. currency from other currency. It even has watermarks visible from the other side of the bill, colored microfibers woven into the substrate of the banknote and an embedded strip, barely visible, that reads USA 100 and glows red under ultraviolet light. The secret operation, stumping officials worldwide, could be the ?most sophisticated counterfeiting operation in the world?, former congressman James Kolbe told McClatchy Newspapers.? I guess all that competition from the Federal Reserve just makes counterfeiters work all the harder to make a better quality product."
