Hyper-Printing The $100 Federal Reserve Fiat Note vs Gold

S. currency more than doubled since the collapse of the Housing and Investment banking system in 2008, the majority of the increase was from just one bill in particular.
U. S. Department of Engraving and Printing issued more $100 Federal Reserve Notes in 2013, than in any year prior. Of course, part of the reason was due to the new $100 anti-counterfeit bill released in 2013, but the increased trend for the largest bill has been going on for decades.
This can plainly be seen in the graph below:

According to the U. S. Department of Engraving and Printing, the U. S. Treasury printed a staggering 4.4 billion of the $100 Federal Reserve Notes in 2013. This is up from a mere 323 million of $100 notes in 1993… just two decades ago.
The chart also points out the obvious, who needs $1 bills anymore… LOL?? In 1993, the U. S. Treasury printed 3.5 billion $1 Notes, but in 2013, this fell nearly in half to 1.8 billion. In order to understand the huge leverage now in the U. S. Fiat Currency System, we need to look at the following table:
