The
U.S. Federal Reserve will begin distributing on Oct. 8 a new-look $100
bill with enhanced security features as part of its design. Here's a
look at some of what's on the new note:_ A blue, 3-D security ribbon running down the bill near its center.
_ Text from the Declaration of Independence printed in script next to Benjamin Franklin's portrait.
_ A copper-colored ink well in which the ink changes to green when the bill is shifted.
_ A gold "100" stamped on the back of the bill to help the visually impaired.
_ A raised texture on Franklin's portrait and throughout the note.
New $100 bill has ink well, more color, 3-D
Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013 | 2:20 p.m.The new C-note that goes into circulation next month is aimed at fighting back against counterfeiters with improved printers and technology.
It still carries the image of Franklin, one of America's Founding Fathers. But it adds part of the Declaration of Independence from Franklin's left shoulder to the right edge of the bill. A quill and an ink well are printed behind the text, and a blue ribbon runs near the center of the bill.
The ink in the well changes colors when the bill is turned.
The new $100 bill is scheduled to enter circulation on Oct. 8 after years of delays due to production issues.
