New $100 Bill design

What do you think about the new $100 bill design, The new bill will probably feature images or patterns printed with metameric ink chemicals that change color depending on the wavelength, not angle, of the light shining on them. Metameric inks that are invisible in daylight may show up under the glow of a lightbulb or LED. Felix can't confirm it, but the new bill might also include holographic images like those on the British 20-pound note. Because they're made with lasers, holograms are difficult to replicate with home equipment. The new bill's design will have proprietary images that scanners and editing software will recognize during counterfeiting and halt the process. It will also use multilayered intaglio patterns the intricate swirls that make up Benjamin Franklin's face too finely detailed to be reproduced by any digital printer on the market. The new $100 bill will probably follow after the new $5, which features a dramatically larger, more detailed watermark in a unique location. Felix can't yet confirm it, citing security concerns, but the paper pulp may include small threads, such as optical fibers, that will glow when illuminated with an ultraviolet light. The microprinting on the new bill will be scattered over areas containing the other copy-proof features, such as watermarks and intaglio-printed designs. This will make life more difficult for counterfeiters, who typically can't duplicate integrated security attributes. "This is one of the key strategies of our new design," Felix says. The security thread planned for the next-generation $100 bill will feature 650,000 tiny glass domes, called microlenses, crammed into a strip a few millimeters wide on the bill's surface. When light strikes this optical strip, the microprint within it will appear to slide over the surface of the thread as the bill is turned—an illusion that is nearly impossible to replicate.

do you have a picture of the new 100$ design?

 

oh no im still waiting on the design

 

I wish they would use the Reserve Bank of Australia's polymer substrate instead. Those notes are near impossible to counterfeit.

 

it's just not american

 

So my question is how can we vote on something we can not see?
Would love to have an image if it's available yet??

hear's part of it

 

I dont care for that at all, Give me something unique in stead of
The same old, same old!! Please!!

 

like i said i still don't have the real image

 

Designed by Salvador Dali.

 

who i that?

 

I shutter to think that this will be a well received design...
To me, it is the worst possible choice.

it's good that the BEP trying to stop the north korean counterfeiting op, so i think they had to make a new design

 

I agree with you, But cant we make something just a bit different
A major change is way overdue!!

 

i know when i saw the new $20 design i ask my dad if it wuz mexico money

 

I thought the same thing when I first saw the yellow looking $10 note. The first one I saw, I stuck it in the back of my wallet until I found out they were all over the place.

 

i like the new $5 note the watermarks are awesome

 

Looks almost exactly like the current $100.

 

it won't have color like the rest of the design's

 

When did you say this was due out??
