Yes, that's billion. 1% of our GDP. More money than entire countries are worth...

WASHINGTON, June 19 (Reuters) - A purported $134 billion in U.S. government bearer bond certificates seized by police near the Italian-Swiss border are fake, the U.S. Treasury said on Friday.

"Based on the photograph we've seen online, they are clearly fake. And not even good fakes," said Stephen Meyerhardt, a spokesman for the Treasury's Bureau of the Public Debt.

He added that there is only $105 million in Treasury bearer bond securities outstanding, so the $134 billion amount seized far exceeds the universe of outstanding securites.

This dude I met on vacation told me a story about smuggling silver into Japan. They got busted like 4 times and the 4th time were taken to Japanese prison where they were forced to sign a document saying they have disgraced japan and are sorry. They were then released.
