Has anyone ever heard of currency planes?

Question

My husband told me that the 2 planes flying really low above our town yesterday were called currency planes. I've never heard of them but he says it was on the news about 10 yrs age. He said there is a magnesium strip in every 100 dollar bill, and theres sometime in that plane that can track the strip, and that way the goverment, or whoever owns theses planes, can keep up with how many 100 bills there are in every house. I don't know for what reason, but I don't believe it. The planes weren't like small aircraft, they had fatter cargo areas and the wings looked thicker. Is he lying to me or what?

Answer 1

I am a pilot in the military, and no such equipment exists for planes to monitor 100 bills, regardless what conspiracy theory websites say.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that he is lying there is alot that the govt does that we don't know about, even though there are strips in the money. He is probably telling the truth. Do some research.

Answer 3

Nope... Not even a good joke.  The Government does not care how many 100 dollar bills are in your house, and couldn't trace them from an airplane even if they wanted to.

Answer 4

It could be just a joke. The Govt. does not stoop so low to find how many 100 dokllar bills you have. Forget it. Govt. hass all other means to find the truth.
