Original Message
A printing error has forced the US to stockpile $110bn (£69.78bn) in new $100 notes until officials can sort and destroy the flawed bills.
A snag in the printing process left up to 30% of the notes with a blank patch on the face, US network CNBC reported.
Officials are working to devise a mechanical process to sort the flawed bills. Doing so by hand would take up to 30 years, officials said.
