The Security Features Of The New 100$ Notes

By Alxa Roffel


October 2013 saw a new era for the hundred dollar notes in US. Newly designed colourful 100$ notes were led into circulation. This of course was done to get rid of the counterfeit notes and was good news for shops and businesses which were willing to verify the money.

Even by the removal of the government, the Federal Reserve was least affected and it announced the newly redesigned 100$ notes, otherwise also known as Benjamin Franklins that will consist of notes filled with newly added security features. The most notable feature of the bill is the blue 3D security ribbon and the colour changing ability of the liberty bells on the ribbon.

Often the US currency is referred to the name of the presidents; it is probably the only currency that is named after their president. The 100$ US currency is often referred to as Bens, Benjamins, Franklins, as because the 100$ bill has the face of Benjamin Franklin's and people to refer to their portrait on the bill. The hundred dollar bill is sometime also referred to as "C, as this indicates the roman numeral for the number. The hundred dollar bill is one of the two notes that don't have the face of a president on the note, along with the ten dollar note.

Also it is the only US dollar note available today that doesn't have the picture of a building that is located in the Washington DC, but has the image of the Independence Hall that can be found on the reverse. There is a particular time marked on the clock of the independence hall which is 4:10 on the traditional notes, except 10:30 was printed on a series of notes that were released in 2013.

Later in 2013 a newly designed 100$ note was circulated, which was earlier to be released in 2011 but it was not published due to some issues with the printing. There were some new security features introduced in the newly circulated notes, here are the newly added features.

The note was added with a blue ribbon. As you move the note back and forth while looking at the blue ribbon, the changing of the bells to 100s can be seen. As you tilt the note back and forth you can also see the bells moving side to side. Moreover, moving side to side you can also find the bells move up and down. Also remember that the ribbon is not printed on the paper but woven into it.

It has a new blue colour ribbon, three dimensional, which was not printed on the notes instead woven in the paper. There was also security strip added to the left of the face of Benjamin Franklin and it was only visible when viewed against the light. There is also a faint image visible in the black space on the right, which is visible on both the sides of the note. As you tilt the note back and forth, the liberty bell image and the number 100 number keep alternating.

You can also find a liberty bell inside the inkwell, which changes from copper to green as you tilt the bill. 100 printed on the alternate side of the note also changes colour when tilted. "Intaglio" printing is done throughout the bill to offer the note a distinct texture. Use of micro printing is done on various parts of the notes, such as the country's name is written on Ben's collar, USA 100 is written on the watermark and "ONE HUNDRED USA" written on the Golden Quill.
