Its the series date. I have yet to find a large $50 or $100 bill with a series date past 2017.

That's concerning.

Especially since those larger-denomination bills have a short life. Once a cashier marks one with that validating crayon...when that bill hits the bank (usually that night's deposit) it's sent for destruction.

I have not seen an older-series hundred in a long time. And as we know, $100s are the new $5s...and as we all preach, I trust in cash. Plastic is for children's toys.

So I see many, don't see many older ones. When I make my once-monthly cash withdrawl from il banco, I take it in Benjamins. Generally crisp bills. Occasionally there's a limp, wrinkled one in the batch.

So...no moar new ones? Just like Can-a-duh.

Change in the Cabinet of relative personnel - the Treasurer (signature on bill) or Secretary of the Treasury (likewise)

The series date is the Administration. Shakeups that involve the Treasury (I don't know why, since the FRB is not federal and not under the Treasury) denote a modifier (A, B, etc).

He doesn't understand money, either.

Powell is doing, or has been doing, what is necessary to save the dollar and the balance, savers, borrowers, investors. Zero-interest is not only artificial, but leads to massive malinvestment and prevents rational savings, driving would-be savers into speculative vehicles - such as stonx.
 

Judge won’t reconsider decision on DOJ’s Powell probe​

A federal judge on Friday denied the Justice Department’s motion to reconsider his quashing of subpoenas related to an investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“The standard for reconsideration is a demanding one: the movant must show that there has been an intervening change in controlling law, new evidence, or a need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice,” Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote Friday.

Judge won’t reconsider decision on DOJ’s Powell probe

The government’s arguments “do not come close to convincing the Court that a different outcome is warranted,” Judge James Boasberg said. A U.S. Attorney’s office said it would appeal.

Justice Department drops probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell​

Washington — Federal prosecutors are ending their criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced, clearing a key obstacle for the confirmation of Kevin Warsh, President Trump's pick to take over as head of the central bank's Board of Governors.

Pirro wrote on X that the Fed's inspector general has instead been asked to look into potential cost overruns in the central bank's renovation of its Washington, D.C., headquarters.

"Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry," she wrote. "Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so."

Now that the money-printers and Globalists have found how to blackmail or manipulate Trump, they're gonna take it up to 11.

I don't know a thing about Warsh. But I'd bet a quarter, he's gonna forget everything he knows about Sound Money once he takes the Big Chair. Money-printer-go-brrr.
 
The FED might be giing for the gold in the end?

Powell to remain as Fed governor, denying Trump a key vacancy​

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that he will remain a central bank governor "for a period of time to be determined," citing attempted political interference.

Why it matters: It extends Powell's influence over monetary policy beyond the conclusion of his term as Fed chair on May 15. His term as one of seven Fed governors extends through January 2028.

  • It denies President Trump the immediate opportunity to fill a vacancy on the influential Fed board.
  • Powell's term as chair ends on May 15, but his term as a governor goes through Jan. 31, 2028.

The Men Globalists Buried Before They Could Save America​

 
  • Kevin Warsh was confirmed Wednesday as the next Federal Reserve chair, in a 54-45 vote that was the closest in the modern era.
  • President Donald Trump has made no secret that he expects Warsh to lower rates after having lashed out repeatedly at outgoing Chair Jerome Powell.
  • Warsh has been a consistent critic of monetary policy and last year, in a CNBC interview, called for “regime change” at the central bank.

Kevin Warsh wins Senate confirmation as the next Federal Reserve chair

In the most divisive vote ever for a Fed chair, Warsh, 56, won confirmation to take over for Jerome Powell.

Still not enough votes to lower rates, should be 8-4...
 
  • Fed governor Stephen Miran is set to exit the Fed in the coming days to make way for newly confirmed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
  • Miran defended his tenure in an interview with CNBC. “I’ve always done what I think is right,” he said.
  • Miran’s beliefs about inflation didn’t always win the day at the Fed, but they will find a much louder proponent in Kevin Warsh. The two agree on how to deal with supply shocks like tariffs and the Iran war.

Oil Shock Reveals Central Planning Limitations

Rising oil prices are increasing inflation pressures across the economy. Supply shocks and past easy-money policies can disrupt production, exposing the limits of central banks’ ability to manage prices.
www.soundmoneydefense.org www.soundmoneydefense.org
 
Anyone with a tenuous grasp of economics, would understand that.

Only the government functionaries whose jobs depend on their NOT understanding it, do not understand it.

And only the banksters getting indescribably rich off the seigniorage of money-printing, would pretend not to be able to explain it.

Go to the link. Even in a blog ostensibly set up to defend sound money, they STILL buy the money-printers' babble about "price inflation."

That's intended to confuse. INFLATION...goddammit....MEANS INFLATING THE CURRENCY. Increasing the supply of money WITHOUT increasing the wealth backing it. MONEY-PRINTING.

Price rises are not inflation. They are the general result of inflation, delayed, often, by years; but the result. But other things can and do cause prices to rise.

SCARCITY causes prices to rise. A bad harvest means bread prices rise. Leftists blocking cattle ranching, and herds shrinking, means beef prices rise. SCARCITY, with CONTINUED HIGH DEMAND.

The issue of the hour is ENERGY. The same demand - energy is integral to everything we eat, do, consume in any way; and now the global supply of oil is cut by 30 percent, BECAUSE OF OUR GOVERNMENT'S STUPIDITY.

That means our standard of living will FALL. And by more than 30 percent - our food, our transportation, our warmth, will cost more. Everything we buy will have higher shipping costs.

That means WE WILL HAVE TO LIVE ON LESS.

That's not inflation - that's jackass leadership; and the result of letting an immoral foreign government use our own government like a pawn, for their emotional gratification, for a mindless war.

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
 


🔻THE VAULT IS BEING BUILT.

Two days ago they swore him in.

Kevin Warsh. Hand-picked. Confirmed over the screams of Elizabeth Warren who called it "an illegal takeover." She's right about one thing — it IS a takeover. But not illegal. Constitutional.

Trump now controls the Federal Reserve.

Not through threats. Not through tweets. Through appointment. Through patience. Through a plan that was set in motion before most of you knew his name.

But the swearing-in was the distraction.

What happened BEHIND the ceremony is what matters.

May 29. Blair House. 11:47 PM. Warsh sat across from two senior Treasury officials and Rep. Nick Begich. No phones. No staff. One document on the table — H.R. 8957.

The American Reserve Modernization Act.

You haven't heard the media talk about this. They won't. Because this bill does what they said was impossible:

— 20-YEAR MANDATORY LOCK on all federally held Bitcoin
— Every single BTC seized, consolidated, UNTOUCHABLE
— Quarterly Proof of Reserve — cryptographic attestation, public, on-chain
— Independent audits. Comptroller General oversight.
— NO new taxes. NO new debt. NO borrowing.

198,109 BTC. Locked. Sovereign. Ours.

But here's the part that made me go silent for 36 hours.

The acquisition pathway.

The bill directs Treasury to study "budget-neutral" methods to acquire MORE Bitcoin. One pathway listed — gold certificate revaluation.

Do you understand what that means?

The United States government currently values its gold at $42.22 per ounce. That's the statutory rate. Set in 1973. Never changed.

Gold closed Friday at $4,337.

The US holds 261.5 million troy ounces.

At $42 = $11 billion on the books.
At $4,337 = $1.134 TRILLION.

One signature. One revaluation. $1.12 TRILLION appears — not printed, not borrowed, not taxed. UNLOCKED.

And where does it go?

INTO THE VAULT.

OPERATION SOVEREIGN LEDGER.

They're not building a digital dollar. They BANNED that. Executive order — no CBDC. No surveillance coin. No programmable control over YOUR money.

They're building something else. A reserve backed by mathematics. Verified on-chain. Locked for a generation.

The old Fed printed in darkness.
The new Fed proves in light.

ARMA-LOCK-0613
GOLD-42-4337
SOVEREIGN-LEDGER-0704

You were told the financial system couldn't change. That the bankers would never lose. That Bitcoin was a toy.

They're locking it in a vault beside the gold.

For 20 years.

For your children.

July 4, 2026. 250 years. A new declaration.

Not of war. Of sovereignty.

Watch the House Financial Services Committee.

The vote is coming.
