Today, April 21, 2010,  The US Treasury Department unveiled a new 100 Dollar bill. The first make over of the C-note since 1996. Added to the bill are more features -- "advanced security features" -- to make it harder to counterfeit. Okay, the Treasury has a duty to try, but the only way to stop counterfeiting would be to get rid of money. Get rid of money? Right. Not any time soon, if ever. Well, the Treasury does have an obligation to try to make counterfeiting harder. From the pictures the new C-note looks. -- Well, it's going to take a little getting use to.

Benjamin Franklin is still on the C-note. But he has been joined by a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell and a bright blue security ribbon composed of thousands of tiny lenses that magnify objects in mysterious ways. Move the bill, and the objects move in a different direction.The new currency will not go into circulation until Feb. 10 of next year. That will give the government time to educate the public in the United States and around the world about the changes.
