I spoke to several casinos about this and they were notified well before the original release date, as were the manufacturers of the currency/bill acceptors, Everyone told me they were already "adjusted" for the new currency. However, I also asked if the staffs have been advised, trained, informed about the new $100 bills. They said they saw "handouts" with photos -- probably no more than the photos I have here and you can find elsewhere on the Internet -- and that's it.

The real issue is that when the new $100 bills are released that if the public doesn't know what the "real new bills" look like, that someone might be able to pass a phony.

Remember the problem with the "new $10 bills" and how they were being rejected?
