Wonder how much is coming in these days - another sure way to crash the economy and create a crisis.
From the U.S. Customs and Border Protection:
Two Packages, $136K of Counterfeit Currency CBP Officers in Chicago Seize Shipments Containing Funny Money
At Chicago’s International Mail Facility (IMF) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers recently seized two parcel arriving from China that held different denominations of counterfeit currency totaling more than $136,000.Bogus Money
On January 28, officers at the IMF held two parcels for inspection that were arriving from the same shipper in China. The officers inspected the shipments to determine the admissibility of the parcels and its contents. The first shipment contained 957 counterfeit $100 dollar bills and 44 counterfeit $50 dollar bills totaling $97,900. In the second shipment were 384 counterfeit $100 dollar bills. In total, $136,300 of counterfeit currency was seized under Counterfeit U.S. Currency, Coins or Government Securities.
Like I said - is this the tip of the iceberg? Flooding the nation with counterfeit currency would be a sure way to force us to use digital currency for any and all payments. Which is exactly what they want as cash payments can not be traced. Cards can.
