The ones from *this* thread here at CompHyp last Friday. US$134 billion in face value, carried by two "Japanese" who were trying to smuggle them into Switzerland.
Yep. They were fake. No great surprise there.
I can't wait to see how this gets explained.
...especially as there are rumors that the two bag-men got sprung from custody in Italy. The Italians had *better* turn up with these fellows for the magistrate's hearing or there is going to be diplomatic hell to pay.

these were fake because they had matured and they were no longer being issued?
good thing for these guys as they would have been fined 40% of the total amount~ according to the first article you posted?
@Susan
Nope. Forgeries.
Yes, that is what Italian law would have prescribed as the penalty. Heh.
