The FBI has reported an unusual heist of some
newly designed $100 bills that are not going into circulation until next
year, according to Huffington Post.
FBI Agent Frank Burton Jr. said the cash was stolen from a plane that
arrived at Philadelphia International Airport around 10:25 a.m. Thursday
from Dallas.
Investigators said these Benjamins are easy to spot. The new
bills have sophisticated elements to thwart counterfeiters, like a
disappearing Liberty Bell in an orange inkwell and a bright blue
security ribbon.
The FBI said a "large amount" of bills were stolen, but agents are not giving specifics.
The theft was reported by a courier service transporting the C-notes
when the shipment arrived Thursday afternoon at the Federal Reserve
Building in East Rutherford, N.J. Officials then discovered some of the
money was missing.
