Redesigned $100 Bill Released

Franklin is getting a facelift.  Ben Franklin’s image on the $100 bill, that is.  The design and security features for a new-and-improved bill have been released, and they’ll be in circulation by the end of the year.

FOX News Radio’s Lilian Woo has details:

The Fed says it will begin circulating a redesigned $100 bill this fall – the highest value bill still being printed in the U.S., also the most widely counterfeited denomination outside the country.

Security features will include a blue 3D security ribbon, alternating images of bells and the number 100 that move and change with the viewing angle, and a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell.  

The roll-out delayed by more than two years because of a production glitch that left creases in many notes.
