I'm sure everybody recalls the $400 million on pallets sent to Iran at the end of Obama's 8 years as a criminal President. That money for the most part, is untraceable. Much like drug and human trafficking cash gathered in bundles and squirreled away in corrupt banks in the Bahamas, Cook Islands and Panama.
The Treasury stopped printing bills in 2017 and it's very likely all the reserves are currently in circulation. Printed cash bills account for just over 10% of all the money in circulation. The other 90% is digital. Unlike printed bills, digital currency in the modern era is 100% traceable. Blockchain. That is, billions being laundered through foreign aid has left a trail. Any of those monies that were wired to elements of criminal organizations has implicated those recipients under RICO statutes.

I think this neatly explains the 400k+ sealed indictments and their continued and steady rise. It's difficult to imagine hundreds of grand juries and police and FBI investigations being conducted to accumulate this number of indictments.
The greed among politicians and bureaucrats is insatiable and these dummies just can't resist; ie. "these people are stupid" Clawing back these ill gotten Monies is just an NSA hack away.
I am just spitballing here and as usual, I appreciate everyone's input and comments.
Nah.
There's just been no redesign since 2017, hence no later dates. Simple as that.
Every so often this topic arises, and the answer is always the same. Nothing to get excited over.
No new series authorized, which breaks with virtually all historical precedent. Why? Because the Treasury positions are typically filled and new series issued within a year at most of the changing of an administration.
Have notes been printed? Yes. But have they been authorized, authentic notes as opposed to unauthorized, fraudulent, counterfeit pieces of toilet paper? 🤔
