Unknown thieves stole a "large amount" of newly-designed $100 bills bound for a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey on Thursday, the FBI said.

Frank Burton, Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the theft occurred at some point between when the shipment of bills landed at the Philadelphia airport on a commercial flight from Dallas ... and ... its New Jersey destination ... the courier service transporting the bills reported some missing.

Burton declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial.

"We're following all logical leads," he said

The missing bills carry a design that is not slated to reach circulation until 2013. They feature a large gold "100" graphic on the back, and an orange box on the front with a faint image of the Liberty Bell.

More than likely North Korean operatives paid to have the shipment hijacked so they can get a jump on counterfeiting them, or even the Chinese.

The first place I’d investigate is the courier outfit that “lost” the money.

The more “advanced” our bills look, the more they end up looking like Zimbabwe dollars.

One day we may wish they were worth as much as Zimbabwe dollars...
