The article about the plane full of tons of Rands destined for South Africa that landed in Zimbabwe (in 2016) made me do some research. What's the history and progression of OUR currency?
"On April 29, 1858, following the Panic of 1857, seven of the nation’s most prominent security printers merged to form the American Bank Note Company. The new company made New York City its headquarters. Less than two years later, the remaining handful of independent bank note printers merged to form the National Bank Note Company that we know of today.
The first paper currency was circulated by the US Treasury Department following the outbreak of the Civil War. Congress passed authorizing legislation for $60 million worth of these “Demand Notes” on July 17 and August 5, 1861. Under contract with the government, the novel paper money, called “greenbacks” by the public, was produced by the American Bank Note Co. and the National Bank Note Co. A total of 7.25 million notes were produced in denominations of $5, $10, and $20. In an interesting historical sidelight, American and National were also producing paper money for the Confederacy at the same time."

Different guy, but alarm bells started ringing.

Every single one of the directors and management team give me a feeling of extreme discomfort. Their looks, their eyes, and their histories. I imagine the Cyber Security people have their eyes on, but it couldn't hurt for us to check this out. Every one of the companies the BOD and Management have listed as resumes are connected with dirty dealings. Considering what this company is responsible for, this is a very dangerous place and is definitely a target of the Deep State. Also:
America’s Most Hated CEOs
By Evan Comen and Samuel Stebbins September 7, 2016 7:01 am EST
-
Bill Brown
> CEO approval rating: 30%
> Company: Harris Corporation
> Glassdoor company rating: 3.0 / 5.0
> Tenure as CEO: 5 years
William Brown, who has been at the helm of aerospace and defense contractor Harris for nearly five years, is one of the least liked CEOs of any major company. Many employee reviews attribute the declining morale and a burgeoning culture of distrust to Brown, speculating that his chief concerns — the company’s profits and shareholders — often come at the expense of employees.
By that measure he has been successful so far. Now trading at over $90 a share, Harris stock has gained by well over 150% in value from the time Brown took over in November 2011. Brown has managed to increase the value of his company in the eyes of shareholders. However, many current and former Harris employees allege that Brown is cutting costs by getting rid of more experienced and more expensive engineers in favor of younger engineers with less experience.
