[3113]

Full Story here.

WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke unveiled a new $100 bill equipped with two new security features....The new bill's security features include a blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the note that contains images of bells and 100s, which move and change from one to the other as you tilt the note, according to joint release from the agencies.

And it has a lovely image of Benjamin Franklin!

The U.S. Treasury Introduces A New $100 Bill

...The bill—the highest denomination of all U.S. notes—circulates widely around the world, with circulation in the past 25 years growing to $890 billion from $180 billion.

About two-thirds of all $100 notes circulate outside the U.S...

...The 6.5 billion or so $100 notes in circulation now will remain legal tender...

Somebody either needs a proof reader or a remedial mathematics course!

Wow! Like those cereal-box rings of Donald Duck moving back and forth as you tilt them? Is that the best they could do?

How about it plays, "Hail to the Chief" when you squeeze it? Or "Turkey in the straw"?
