With all the talk about Central banks going “Cashless,” someone
needs to tell the Federal Reserve. Why? Because the Federal
Reserve just placed another large order for newly printed 2018 Dollars.
Interestingly, the U.S. Treasury will print the largest number of $100 bills
since it came out with the updated anti-counterfeit $100 bill in 2013.
Not only is the Federal Reserve ordering more bills to replace worn-out
bills that will be taken out of circulation, but it will also add a
percentage for the increased public demand. And let me tell you, this
demand continues to rise significantly. For example, total U.S.
currency in circulation is now $1.57 trillion, up nearly double from the $792
billion in 2007:
Not only has total U.S. currency in circulation nearly doubled since the
last Market Crash (2008), the Federal Reserve plans to add a lot more “Paper
Notes” this year based on even higher demand. From the Federal Reserve
website on How
does the Federal Reserve Board determine how much currency to order each
year?:
We use the majority of new notes printed each year to replace unfit notes
that Reserve Banks have removed from circulation. For example, we
estimate that in 2015, 85 percent of the new notes printed will replace destroyed
currency, while the remaining 15 percent will meet increased public demand.
So, the Fed states that they replace 85% of old Notes with new ones and
add 15% for increased public demand. However, in their current 2018
Federal Reserve Print Note order, they published the
following:
The nearly 7.4 billion notes included in the FY 2018 order reflect
the Board’s estimate of net demand for currency from domestic and international
customers. The print order is determined by denomination and is
based on destruction rates and historical payments to and receipts from
circulation. Historically, the majority of the notes that the Board orders
each year replace unfit currency that Reserve Banks receive from
circulation. The estimated number of notes that Reserve Banks
will destroy accounts for about 75 percent of the FY 2018 print order and
includes both unfit currency, as well as all old-designs of some
denominations received from circulation.
The expected growth of Reserve Bank net payments (payments less receipts)
to circulation and inventory management adjustments account for the remainder
of the notes in the FY 2018 print order.
Here the Fed is saying that due to Reserve Bank net payments (less
receipts) to circulation and adjustments to inventory, it will add 25% more
notes to satisfy the increased public demand. This is quite
interesting to see that the growth of new bills in 2018 will be 25% when a
great deal of talk is that we are heading towards a “Cashless society.”
Now, the overwhelming rise in the value of U.S. currency in circulation is
due to the increased printing of the $100 bill:
As we can see, in 1997, the $100 bill accounted for approximately
60% of currency in circulation but now represents nearly 85%.
And, if we break down the total value of the 7.4 billion notes for 2018, we
have the following:
Value of 2018 Federal Reserve Notes Printed
$1 Bill = $2.17 billion
$5 Bill = $4.13 billion
$10 Bill = $5.69 billion
$20 Bill = $36.1 billion
$50 Bill = $18.2 billion
$100 Bill = $167 billion (72%)
Total bills = $233.3 billion
The U.S. Treasury will print $167 billion worth of $100 bills of the total
$233 billion ordered by the Federal Reserve. Thus, the value of the new
$100 bill will account for 72% of the notes printed in 2018. However,
there is another interesting trend taking place. While the Fed may be
removing 85% (75% in 2018) of old bills each year, most of those bills are
the lower denomination.
According to the Fed, the larger denomination bills have a much longer
lifespan:
Because the $100 Note lasts 2-3 times longer than the other
Federal Reserve Notes, the Fed must be removing a larger number of the lower
denomination bills ($1, $5 & $10) and replacing them with more $100
bills. This only makes logical sense. Furthermore, if
the Fed will be adding 25% more new bills in 2018 for “increased public
demand”, then it must be expecting a great deal more inflation.
Moreover, it doesn’t make sense that the Fed is considering a cashless
society if they are continuing to increase the value of Federal Reserve Notes
in circulation. Rather, you would think they would be reducing the
number of bills to transition to a cashless society.
Regardless, we also must consider that a lot of illicit drug trade is
funded by the $100 bill. Also, it is no surprise that the Elite via the
Central Banks is likely involved in this sort of activity. If it is
extremely profitable, then why not… ah? So, why would the U.S. be in
Afganistan if it weren’t for the $1+ trillion opium global drug trade?
After the U.S. became involved in Afganistan, opium poppy production surged
and is now the highest ever.
Do we actually believe the Elite and Central Banks are going to go
to a total Cashless Society? How on earth with the huge and very
profitable drug trade amongst other illicit activity continue? With a
Debit Card?
Now, I am not saying that Central Banks will not continue to push for more
digital and less physical money, but it doesn’t make sense to totally get rid
of a currency that allows the drug trade to function. Furthermore, how
does the poor function in a cashless society? Most of the poor can’t
afford a checking account. And a percentage of the poor receive cash
for their work.
Lastly, while the push for a cashless society continues in the mainstream
and alternative media, I highly doubt we will ever get there because of the
reasons stated above and also due to the coming ENERGY BRICK WALL. We
need a highly advanced technological system to allow a digital cashless
system to function. Unfortunately, we are about to hit the Energy Brick
Wall right at the time this nonsense is being suggested.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please stay tuned for new
YouTube Videos on the COMING BULL in the Gold & Silver Markets.
Don’t believe the regurgitated knee-jerk statements that Gold and Silver are
going to crash along with the markets. That is pure BOLLOCKS. I
will explain in more detail why today is nothing like 2008 and that we are on
the verge of a huge PRECIOUS METALS BULL MARKET even though most investors
are totally frustrated. Actually, this is a perfect indicator.
