Somebody somewhere, I forget who, tipped me off to this. He suggested that I look at the fiat bills I had in my wallet and see if any were more recent than 2009. That was a few weeks ago. I had something like a hundred bucks in 8 or 10 different bills in my wallet at the time. I checked. Hmm. None of them were more recent than "2009 series". Some 2008's. Some 2005's etc.
But, no big deal. I mean, sometimes you flip a coin and get 5 tails in a row. So what? but I kept looking at the money in my wallet at the end of the day. It's been about 3 weeks now and probably more than a hundred 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's and 100's and I've looked at every bill I've gotten and I haven't received a single one dated more recently than 2009. It's past the point of coincidence.
So, I ask anyone reading this. Please look at the actual fiat bills in your pocket or wallet. Are any dated more recently than 2009 series?

A friend tells me that this isn't a big deal. Because, he says, the way they date bills is, effectively, by treasury secretary. So, my friend says, because we've had the same treasury secretary, Turbo Tax Toupee'd Timmy Geithner, since 2009, all the bills have had said "2009 series" including bills printed and put into circulation in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Sorry about the false alarm guys.
