The New $100 Bill with High-Tech 3-D Ribbon.... By Nicholas Carthen

The U.S. Treasury will be issuing a new $100 on February 10, 2011 with a 3-D security ribbon.  The security ribbon on the bill called Motion, will contain 650,000 micro-lenses embedded on each bill that will allow the underlying  image to shift when the bill is moved.  The new bill will also feature color shifting "100", security thread, a bell in the inkwell that will change from copper to green when the bill shifts, and a portrait watermark on the side of the bill.

I personally think that the new bill is different and unique; they will eventually changes all the other bills to this kind a style in the coming years.  The main reason for the new $100 bill is to make it extremely hard to create a counterfeit $100 bill and to cut down on the ones that are still floating around the nation.

Take a look at the video and tell me what you think.
