<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 777618, member: 22476&quot;]Does anyone here know of a good time that they &quot;think&quot; the new $100 will be unveiled (not released into circulation)? I have been waiting to see this design since the first redesigned $50 bill all the way back in 1997, because the $100 bill did not have the low-vision numeral (the large number in the bottom right corner on the reverse of the $5-$50 bills. Then there was a rumor that the Series 1999 $100 bills would be slightly redesigned to carry the numeral, and then they scrapped that idea, figuring that a redesigned NexGen $100 bill would come out soon enough that they could modify the design for the large numeral. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m interested though, with the low-vision numeral on the new $5 bill being purple, I am wondering if, just for yet another minor security features, if the NexGen $100&#039;s low-vision numeral will be a color other than green. I also wonder if the huge 100 will be a bit smaller than the current $10, $20 and $50 bills&#039;s low-vision numeral, but just made darker in more white space to be easier to see in the dark, seeing as they have to cram three numbers next to the Independence Hall picture as oppsed to only two on the $10, $20, and $50, and of course, the $5 being a one numeral bill, that was likely the reason they were able to enlarge the $5&#039;s low-vision numeral even more, because there was enough room to enlarge a single digit numeral the way it was, with the Lincoln Memorial.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I hope they unveil the new kodachrome $100s in time for them to go into circulation later this year, instead of 2011, but last I heard was, that the BEP was hoping to due a few more tests with the new $100 design the first two months of this year, so who knows? We might be looking at a release date being in 2011.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
