Tattered Notes

In her December, 2023 "Ever Wonder How MUCH?" article #4545, Anna von Reitz said...

I may also be able to shed some light as to why there are no Federal Reserve Notes since 2017 and why "the Fed" banks have not been providing the branch banks in the system with sufficient funds in cash.

Federal Reserve Notes (FRN) are coming out of automated teller machines (ATM) in poor shape.  They have also been disorganized, with some being upside down and flipped over with respect to others.  Are financial institutions recirculating old notes?

Remember the nice, clean, crisp bills ATM's dispensed in the past?

These notes, above, recently came out of an ATM.  They are all Series 2017 and earlier.

This evidence seems to corroborate what Anna says in her article.  Readers can decide what it means.

 

Additionally, this small-denomination note is a Series 2021, and it is an outlier.  Where did it come from?

What is going on?

UPDATE, May 19, 2024...

Back in December, Americans were warned about a potential, imminent global financial catastrophe (AVR #4527, #4528), which led the Michiganian Free Press (MFP) publisher to deposit 102.00 FRN into his checking account.  Here is a copy of the deposit document...

Curiously, the financial institution handled the notes in two distinct groups, 92.00 in one and 10.00 in the other.  Were some SERIES 2017 and earlier while others were more recent?  Were some printed overseas?  There is no way to tell at this point, but the MFP publisher had never seen anything like that happen before.  Clearly the teller knew what to do.

The notes in the photos of the original article, above, were not the ones returned in December.
