Launched: New $ 100 bill

New one hundred dollar bill distributed starting today in U.S. funds. Hallmark of the new bill is a drawing of copper bell changes color to green after a bold, blue security stripe three-dimensional figure of Benjamin Franklin.

The new design of the bill is designed to combat counterfeiting and includes a security zone along the three-dimensional image of the front bell note that when you move it, it changes the color from copper to green.

The back of the note features a new decoration Independence Hall in Philadelphia. "As new designs before, this bill has the best technology that exists to ensure superior to counterfeiters," said Treasury Secretary whose signature appears on the notes.

Old notes of $ 100 will remain valid. Holders of old notes will not have to replace them.

Meanwhile, the $ 100 bill is the highest (numerically) printed by permission of the blocks and prints U.S. Department of the Treasury. Banknotes of 500, 1,000 or more are not printed anymore, but still form part of the financial market, especially for collectors.
