CNN report moments ago the powder fell out of a wrapped roll of quarters from an out-of-state bank as the roll was being opened.

Ok? How do they know it was an out of state bank?

Coin from the fed. comes wrapped in clear plastic wrappers, no numbers etc. of where it came from.

The only coin I am aware of that comes in marked wrappers is the kind you get at the bank. The kind tellers hand out to customers. Customers then wrap the coin and either spend the roll somewhere or return to a bank to turn it in. The bank requires some sort of name or account number on the wrapper, in the event the whole roll is slugs it can debit the account. If it's handed back out to another customer the information is blacked out. If the rolls are returned to the fed, they are broken open and rewrapped in those nasty plastic wrappers.

Another CNN ignorant statement in my opinion.

That would be what the Muzzies want, to make us fear our own money.

Fox & Friends was just discussing this. Paige Hopkins asked a good question--wouldn't they first suspect it was laundry detergent, since that was what they claim they were using the coins for? Maybe I'm too jaded, but I suspect this stuff was made in a university chem lab, and this is just a prank.

It's not clear what you're saying.
