"The Fed Has a $110 Billion Problem with New Benjamins

A significant production problem with new high-tech $100 bills has caused 
government printers to shut down production of the new notes and to 
quarantine more than one billion of the bills in huge vaults in Fort 
Worth, Texas and Washington, DC, CNBC has learned.

...

Sorting such a huge quantity of bills by hand, the officials estimate, 
could take between 20 and 30 years. Using a mechanized system, they think 
they could sort the massive pile of bills, each of which features the 
familiar image of Benjamin Franklin on the face, in about one year."
