Tomorrow I'm gonna walk in the bank, and say, "Hello, it's me again. Make it all ones, please." Today the young female teller gave me the weirdest look. I'll pick a different one tomorrow. :)

yea, the FED's $50 bil... what's the current population, 250 mil? That's $200.00 per person. I can see why they're concerned about this. <:)=

The story about the $50 billion is close to becoming an Urban Legend with the media. It's true of course about the $50 billion. What's not generally known is that it went past "just" $50 billion. Here's a quote from an article in TechWeek dated November 2, 1998:

"Fed stashes cash to prepare for Y2K"

http://www.techweek.com/articles/11-2-98/countdow.htm

"Don't bank on it. We mentioned in a previous column that the Federal Reserve Board recently put aside $50 billion in preparation for Y2K bank runs (the Fed doesn't use that language, of course). Now they've stashed another $50 billion - a total of $250 billion. But is that enough to tide us over?"

[My comment on TechWeek's article: the Fed is VERY concerned about bank runs.]

Hell no. The smart money's already out. Months ago.
