Shipment originating in China, arrived on Canadian rail, it doesn't say by rail from China. Probably a container on a flat car rather than transferred to a boxcar as they wouldn't want those 45 boxes handled any more than necessary enroute.

Most unconventional to counterfeit singles, though. Unless somebody's desperate to avoid the fancier anticounterfeiting features of the larger denominations.
A some-years-back Jack Reacher novel had a pretty ingenious counterfeit scheme for older bills without the anticounterfeiting of newer ones: thoroughly bleach worn singles, fives, and tens and reprinting these as old-type hundreds.

China has the technology and resources to make any denomination and as much as they want, but I doubt they want to destabilize US currency... yet.

Although counterfeit currency is always destabilizing, come to that.
The idea in that Reacher story was to bleach the printing off the correct linen paper -- then change things. To be really convincing, it'd need to replicate the high pressure intaglio printing process of the genuine bills. The story pretty much had an entire industrial plant to do it. So Jack Reacher blew it up in the last chapter in a James Bond eruption. "Every place he goes -- it blows up." -- Lenny Henry Cleverer than that one felon, if his offense actually rose to a felony, who cut the corner numbers off a twenty to paste onto a single, to pass that. I'd've wanted to be a fly on the wall in that courtroom hearing; the judge's cheeks must have hurt. "Allow me to consider: you expended twenty-one dollars to forge exactly one twenty..."

I think this line's mostly filler.

Over 50% of a 20 is technically still a 20 and can be traded in at a bank, but I suspect red flags would be thrown if you showed up with one that had the numbers cut off.

I though if it didn't have both serial numbers it had to go back to the treasury to determine how much you get. But I could be mistaken.
