<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinfreak~24, post: 775528, member: 15218&quot;]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&#039;t confirm it, but the new bill might also include holographic images like those on the British 20-pound note. Because they&#039;re made with lasers, holograms are difficult to replicate with home equipment. The new bill&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t duplicate integrated security attributes. &quot;This is one of the key strategies of our new design,&quot; 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&#039;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. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for your vote&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
