New $100 Bill design

Just like the state quarters, I was thinking of those Cinderella stamps from 1939 - but one done for each city FedResvBank - artwork, not the funny papers.

For the $100 alone this would require 12 unique, counterfeit proof designs, separate print runs and 12x the production costs overall. I'm sure the tax payers in this day and age would just love to spend budget money on that proposal! It's not economically feasible nor would it be applicable on such a large denomination note that many people rarely use (unlike the Quarter with States designs) and to only apply the concept to one denomination. To play this out to the $100, $50, $20, $10, $5 and $1s... that's a heck of a lot of extra designs, plates and production. It's a clever idea to have unique district designs but highly unlikely.

 

Those are my thoughts about the good points, pursuant to my brief post earlier. It's not just about "looks", but also the extensive ingenuity...

 

what duz it cost for a new $100 to be made?

 

In general, a few cents for the simple three color $1 notes, but several more cents each for the extra colors and security measures of the larger denominations... however, if you are really asking how much it costs, from all the research and development to design, implementation, printing, distributing, marketing... the costs are enormous! You might be able to find some records and mention of budget allocation from the Federal Reserve on their site in regards to this aspect of your inquiry.

 

oh ok thanks.

 

Can i assume you like the new one??

The one that Bob posted was really neat, And would make a great
Replacement in the small size, I think all the counterfeiting measures on the new one are really affecting the overall beauty of the note!

 

I don't mind the new $100 note. It will serve it's purpose while in circulation and doesn't come off like toy-money in the least bit for me. I would like to get one of the new notes as soon as possible to have a look at it's new features.

I think the new $100 fits into the current scheme of notes that have been released over the last several years and that is an important thing that it conformed to those Series' look. Now that the $5 through $100 have all rolled out, the designs should, if not already, be preparing for a full set of replacement designs. It is a misfortune how slowly the process for the Treasury takes to understand how the technology works and to implement these features into the current designs because it hurts any new note's public reception.

The new features are necessary and so is visual design. There's a lot of room for improvement in regards to integrating the new features and doing so in a way that it informs and even defines the aesthetic appeal of our currency. The visual appeal cannot give way to modern security features any more than elaborate fine engraving was once utilized as a security feature when counterfeiting techniques were less able to forge earlier/classic designs. Unfortunately, in the rush to produce secure currency and develop innovative security measures, visual artistic design has been given a back seat to issues of security. Visual designs likely suffer from budgetary limitations and advisory boards votes to minimize change in visual design while enacting the most up to date features for protection and assurance.

I do like the new design probably far more than those who dislike it, but I acknowledge there is also a serious lack of overall visual appeal for the end user and especially the collector.

 

To tell you guy's the truth i can fake it very easily.

 

The dies are on the shelf at the Bep & would have to be reworked,of course it would have to be a FRN & adding a few not so obvious holograms to distract from the old design.After the educational series were issued people reacted badly to the drastic design change and other loved it & today it been called The Most Beautiful US.series I'm sure the image I posted would be redesigned & loved or hated like this,but at lest in 20 years from now we may find it to be a beautiful last OLD Style Intaglio note worth having in a nice US FRN collection.

 

god help us when they put a junk hologram on the us currency.

 

The available old designs would be an interesting twist to try to update but I'm not sure that it would be that easy to integrate the modern features into the old look. One problem would be how the detail of older intaglio processes could hold detail on a paper substrate but in today's notes, they use something known as an 'enhanced' intaglio printing, which gives the printed image a more pronounced raised texture. I feel that this feature has contributed to the simpler line design of the portraits because they are more crude in execution, less detail, since the lines are spaced farther apart; overall there are less lines to utilize for fine detail. To reuse an old design wouldn't be just a reworked die, but a total rebuild and integration of an old look, interpreted in modern die and plate preparation. This would alter the final look and the elegance so desired would have to give way to detail in modern production just to recreate the concept of classic currency. I think it's to the benefit of the modern currency design that they do not stoop to these levels, and lessen the quality of work of craftsmen and security engravers of earlier times but instead model the currency after the challenges we face today.

 

Isn't that just what is being proposed as a anti-counterfeiting deterrent on this new $100?,perhaps hologram (anti-Counterfeiting deterrent) is the wrong description.What would you call the deterrents on this ugly proposed note?

 

Check out the new features on the newmoney.gov web site. They have prepared a lot of PDF downloadable Educational materials, a video and animations of the features. The brochures are in PDF form on the order form page. The two new features are the 3-D Security Ribbon (blue vertical bar on the face woven into the paper) and the 'Bell in the Inkwell' color shifting ink. There is also a small "100" that has the hologram-ink like the smaller denominational notes have had for some time. There is micro type and the other woven security thread as well.

it's called color shifting ink not a hologram

 

like i said not a hologram :]

 

I stand corrected,you are %100 right. Now I know what you mean ,mistakenly calling color shifting ink a hologram ,but I think if you could overlook this mistake you could get what I was getting at in the post.In the future I will make sure I refer to it as "color shifting ink.

 

oh you don't have to worry about it :high5:

 

don't you guy's think that 10 month's is to long?
