Yes. Last year, the Fed building had flags of the new notes flying in front & by the end of the year, they were taken down. There have also been lots of banks that have either merged or closed b/c they were not ISO 20022 compliant. You can do a search for your own bank to see if they are compliant or not.. More people who have been following this for a long time have been ben given confirmation by bank presidents that the new notes are in & just waiting for the switch. ATM's have been switched nationtwide as well (our own local bank had theirs shut down for a few days and we saw the new one). Oh, and lest we forget, there's also this: H.R.9157 - To define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold, and for other purposes.

That is what some say but we have no proof of it, nor do we know if they truly know.
