Watch for these - contact the FBI if you find one

It would be helpful if the Fed/BEP would publish the serial numbers, series, FRB and blocks. Trackers and collectors could give them a hand.

Here is a video from the BEP about the status of the new $ 100's. They will make a public announcement 6 months before releasing these notes.

Yeah, that would help.
Not that I mark hundreds, I don't...but I have been known to SAVE them for a long time...simply because it's easiest, when you're saving rainy-day money...to make it as hard as possible to spend...and a lot of places don't like to take hundreds....making it, thus harder to spend them. This is a great way of saving if you're saving up for a little vacation or something. Because it's harder to spend it on frivolous stuff.

As for right now...ANY 100 Bill with the 2013 Series HAS to be from the stolen bunch, since no others are in circulation. Presumably, some of those stolen will also have the "creasing" problem which was mentioned as a reason for delay of issue on these bills.

So we have SOME idea what to look for.
