It's all about the Benjamins!

"Yo Benjamin Franklin, homie! You lookin clean yo! Whadup wid it? New haircut yo? Awww c'mon I know you did something new! For being over 300 years old, you fresh as hell!"

The Hundie was scheduled for a facelift a few years ago but due to some issues with the new imbedded technology the release was delayed. But at last, just in time for the Government shutdown Mr. Franklin has decided to show off the new paint job.

The bills new blue and orange color scheme is obviously an endorsement of the Denver Broncos and the Detroit Tigers (My favorite NFL and MLB teams). Aside from the Feds natural bias towards my sports interests the bill now has a 3-D security ribbon, color shifting ink, and a new image of an inkwell on the front with the liberty bell on it. Also Mr. Franklins head wont be framed with an oval anymore. He's letting his hair fly in the static winds of our still water economy.

I was surprised to find out that the Hundred is the second most common bill in circulation. It is only second to the one dollar bill and beats out the twenty by 1.2 billion bills. Supposedly more than 75% of over 1 trillion in circulated currency is made up of hundred dollar bills. Ironically enough, most of that money is held outside the United States. The older Hundreds will remain in circulation, but you wont see any more of them coming out of the federal reserve.

Oh and by the way, an undisclosed amount of the new bills went missing in transit from Dallas to Philly. Ya, they were using a commercial airliner. Isn't that kind of asking for it? They are assumed stolen. The feds would not disclose the amount but said it was substantial. The FBI is following "all logical leads". How bout don't put your nations currency on a commercial flight? The government once again proving itself a paragon of stupidity (with the obvious exception being their subtle support of my favorite sports teams).

And will they take "In God We Trust" off the money already! I wouldn't trust him to watch my sandwich for three and a half minutes. Worship Satan, make bad decisions, learn from them and repeat. Also the link to the CNN article about the new bill is below. It's whatever.
