It’s obviously not a $110 billion problem. That’s a sensationalist way of framing it. The only problem is that the production costs will be higher (no joke when more than one billion notes are affected but nowhere close to an additional $110 billion – the article says about $120 million). It doesn’t matter at all how many more notes than needed are printed as long as the superfluous ones are destroyed before anyone could do anything with them.
