		Redesigned $100 Bill Delayed October 4, 2010 at 9:47 AM     The Federal Reserve on Friday, October 1, said the new $100 bill which features a fresh design and a range of enhanced security features will not rollout next February as planned.

Platinum and palladium were off a bit as well, the former losing $5 and opening at $1,670.00 and the latter dropping $4 to start the day off at $569.00 the ounce.(...)
