    Default Suitcase With $134 Billion Puts Dollar on Edge

    Suitcase With $134 Billion Puts Dollar on Edge
    Commentary by William Pesek

    June 17 (Bloomberg) -- It’s a plot better suited for a John Le Carre novel.

    Two Japanese men are detained in Italy after allegedly attempting to take $134 billion worth of U.S. bonds over the border into Switzerland. Details are maddeningly sketchy, so naturally the global rumor mill is kicking into high gear...

    These would have to be fake documents. Paper document generation of this type supposedly stopped years ago.

    Maybe they were old Bonds, that had been stashed away somewhere for years....I have a few Silver Certificate bills from the 20's..they still work as real money.
